Andy Catlett: Early Travels

by Wendell Berry

Andy Catlett: Early Travels Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Andy Catlett is the latest installment in Wendell Berry’s Port William series, a distinct set of stories that Berry has been telling now for 50 years. Set during the Christmas of 1943, nine-year-old Andy Catlett sets off to visit his grandparents in Port William by bus, by himself for the first time. For Andy this is a rite of passage, his first step into manhood. His experiences on this solitary voyage become pivotal points in the entire Port William epic. The old ways are in retreat, modern life is crowding everything in its path, and as Andy looks back many years later, he hears the stories again of his neighbors and friends. A beautiful short novel, now in paperback, Andy Catlett is a perfect introduction to the whole world of Port William, and will be a rich new installment for those already familiar with this unfolding story.

Another segment of Berry's Port William clan is filled in with this book on young Andy Catlett. Lots of fun in this young boys journey to stay with his grandparents (both sets) on Chistmas time during WW II. Berry has a fine touch for that line between sentiment and humor. This is a good clear portrait of a time of deep respect for others and the land. Vintage Berry
