Robert Ruark has lived in the shadow of Ernest Hemingway and this work in particular. Inspired in part by Hemingway’s masterpiece, this work detailed the relationship between a boy and his maternal grandfather as the elder teaches how to hunt and fish. If you like the bucolic, you’ll probably enjoy this as well. First edition, fine book in Good+ jacket (pc). . . . . . . . . #theoldmanandtheboy #robertruark #americanlit #americanliterature #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #northcarolina https://www.instagram.com/p/Bur4eAOAmSu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bi90jsbbm0bb
