Andy Catlett: Early Travels (Hardcover)

Author: Wendell Berry

Publisher: Counterpoint LLC (2006)

Nine-year-old Andy Catlett embarks on a trip going alone by bus to visit his grandparents. It is Christmas 1943 and―as he sees modern life crowding out the old ways―those he meets become touchstones for his understanding of a precious and imperiled world.

This beautiful short novel is a perfect introduction to Wendell Berry’s rich and ever-evolving saga of the Port William Membership.
