About This Book

A young country boy sets out to town intending to buy shoes and run errands for his mother; along the way he pauses by a river, makes whistles for children, and lingers at bookshops where a tempting bargain compels him to spend his money on volumes instead of footwear. The remaining narrative follows his uneasy return, the anxiety about meeting his mother's expectations, and episodes that contrast rural innocence with the attractions and moral choices of urban commerce, exploring thrift, curiosity, and the small ethical struggles of coming of age.
