Reviews
On Jun 9 2016, a reader said:
This was my Father's favorite book and he shared it with me over 50 years ago. Long after he is gone I can still hear him read those words and feel the way Don Blanding brought his Vagabond's House alive. I am getting ready to share it with my Granddaughters and give them the same gift the book and my Dad gave me. The gift of poetry that touches your heart.
