Summary: Northern Borders
Review: Howard Frank Mosher is an exquisite story teller. His words are worth a thousand pictures. The reality of growing up on a rustic farm in northern Vermont during the 40's & 50's is made charmingly clear. Life on the farm is rough, yet idyllic. Where work is its own reward is a simple truth & the path to an honest existence. The only negative is the story ends!

Summary: Nothern Borders is a Wonderful Book
Review: I strongly recommend this heartwarming book written from a child's point of view in the beginning. Later on, as the boy grows, the reader gets acquainted with his myriad of experiences and encounters with various people and animals. In the end, the reader is filled with a sense of peace and serenity as all comes to a close. This book had me laughing, crying, smiling, cringing, and recalling the times of growing up.

Summary: Visions Lead To Further Reading
Review: In my Visions of Childhood class that I am currently taking at college, we were assigned Northern Borders. Given two weeks to read this, I found that I couldn't put it down and ultimately finished reading the material within two days! A must read for anyone who enjoys good fiction writing, without the complexities that many writers use as subterfuge for the story. Highly recommended for those in the class or not! Definetly looking forward to checking out more books my Mosher.

Summary: A great read!
Review: Mosher is a brilliant storyteller. His characters are too real to be fictional! This ranks as one of my top ten favorites.

Summary: A great read!
Review: This is a great,fun, touching book. I absolutley loved it, and so have all the people whom I've given copies to. I have read all of Mosher's books, and while they're all very good, this is his best. I look forward to re-reading it while I wait impatiently for more from this excellent author.
