Description: HERE IS a novel of reality and enchantment; a tale of upstate New York in the days of land grants, of frontier hardship, and robust love-making. Old Man Post, who couldn’t tolerate home, family life, or farmin', turned his back on all three when fate burned down his house and killed his wife. This left Eldest, Dan’l and Young'un to carry on the farm as Dan'l thought Pa would want it to be. And Young'un bears a full share of the responsibility for Dan’l’s stubborn dream. Young'un is no storybook prodigy; swimming in the mountain pool and stretching out to dry; to swaggering-proud of her boyish prowess, uncertain of her desire to grow to womanhood, yet lured by a rose-strewn gown; realizing that Dan’l’s worship of Pa is ridiculous; furious at her menfolk and loyal to both, and through her love finding a way to make them happy. This is, in sum, a full and happy tale. Escape reading as it ought to be. It was a Dual Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club few November, 1944. This special edition of YOUNG 'UN by Herbert Best has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, The Macmillan Company, New York.
