Exclusive for
fans of
WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS
 Here
is the little-known life story of Wilson Rawls, author
of the classic dog story, Where
the Red Fern Grows.
Told in his
own words, this 80-minute cassette describes his childhood
in a dirt-poor, but loving family during the Great
Depression. Filled with all the emotions that make
his book so popular, you'll hear him tell how he tried
to write Red Fern for nearly 20 years, finally burned
it out of embarrassment, only to have it saved by a
budget analyst for the Atomic Energy Commission—who
became his wife!
To hear
