Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Lion's Paw

September 2019: I just edited this review a little bit because in my twenties, when I wrote this, I felt invisible on the internet: by which I mean, I wrote this carelessly and goofily and with more cussing than feels apt to me today, in my forties. At the time, I worked at Strand in Manhattan, at the main-floor information desk (which no longer exists, as such), where the bulk of my job was researching the books the buyers brought in, many of them my own old memories, floating back and right into my hands, dusty and creaking.

October 2008: Oh my gosh. Miss Faircloth read this to us in 4th grade (my favorite grade) and I have essentially been looking for it ever since. So that's twenty years of looking. I could only find it as an expensive paperback or collectible hardcover edition, neither of which were within my price-range. Anyway: a couple days ago a guy came in selling books and THERE IT WAS in beautiful lookalike reprint form--the Best Book in My Nine-Year Old World.

And I read it and OH MAN. SO SWEET.

Comment On Out Of Books The Lion's Paw

I read this book for the first time in the 4th grade. When I had read all of the books that we had in the classroom, my 4th grade teacher started lending me books from her personal collection. Of all the books I read that year (and there were some great ones) this is the one that stands out in my mind when I look back. Eight years after reading it for the first time, I finally tracked down another copy and was thrilled to find that THE LION'S PAW is just as good as I remembered. On the surface,

This is a classic late 1940's children's adventure story that is set in post-WWII Florida. It perfectly captures the place and the time. The story is a good one, mostly takes place on a sailboat involving runaway orphans.

The beginning was a bit slow. My class really got into it towards the end.

Ms. Dolan, my 4th grade teacher in 1960 read this book aloud to our class. After all these years, I found it again. It is back in print and a great children's book especially for 2nd - 4th graders. It is set in Florida and was a classic walk through memory lane of how Florida and youth used to be!

Still one of my favorite childhood books.

My fifth grade teacher read this book aloud to our class. It was an exciting story. I would like to read it again.

A friend recently recommended THE LION'S PAW. He remembered loving it as a kid, tried to find it for his own kids, and discovered that it was just reissued a few months ago. I'm so glad it was. It's a terrific, old-timey adventure story. The requisite orphans, a brother and sister named Nick and Penny (ages 9 and 12), run away from their orphanage and team up with Ben (15), whose father has gone missing while fighting in World War II. Ben believes his father is still alive, but everyone else
