"I love these stories," exclaimed 8-year-old Emma with a big grin, as her grandpa read Skating To The End Of The World to her. Unexpectedly, she pulled the book out of his hand. "Now I want to read it to you."
Then she stopped, suddenly philosophical. "But I don't think those adventures could have really have happened. He must have made them up."
Well, Emma, they really did happen, but it was definitely in a different and simpler age, during the childhood of author Timothy Bentley.
He describes the freedom of country life. His wonderful, often funny, adventures include climbing steep riverside cliffs, finding himself in a donkey stampede, taking his first flight in a pontoon airplane, raising a dancing raccoon, and preparing a special Christmas gift for grandparents across the ocean.
The chapter "Skating To The End Of The World" tells a tale of ultimate childhood freedom, backed up by loving parental support.
Timothy Bentley relates his adventures with gentle humor, and illustrates them with actual photographs from the time.
