Book Description

Excerpt from The Wine of Astonishment He was on fire to be off to his adventure. He felt himself a man, an explorer, a free lance. It was mad dening to have to thrust his head into the family living room and tell his parents that he was going over to Henry's for all night. And parents are not too easily satisfied. His father merely glanced up from the inevitable book, but his mother put down her magazine and told him to come in.
