Bruce Coffin, author and teacher, has created a splendid remembrance of his boyhood days in Woodstock, Vermont, growing up in a simpler and sweeter time.

Bruce has an eye for exalted moments and an ear for the language in which those moments live again.

This book brings a village to life in such a way that we feel our own histories in his stories and descriptions of the people, bicycles, stores, ball games, homes, and mountains and woods of Woodstock.
