MacNeil, Robert : Wordstruck: A Memoir

Viking, New York, 1989

ISBN 0670818712

A winter's night in Halifax, Nova Scotia, half a century ago: a small boy, warm from his bath, dressed in striped flannel pajamas and a wool dressing gown, nestled among the cushions of a sofa, listens to his mother read aloud, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is treasure not yet lifted." Entranced, this small boy never forgot the spell of those words - and others - read to him as a child, words that seemed magical then, and now are clues to remembering his childhood, a trail along which he uncovers his earliest experiences." 230p. illus. Book. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fine
