Although Rawls' writing need no assistance, Anthony Heald's reading takes the tale to a whole new level. He brought every character to life . . .no, a better way to say it is that he became each character.
If WTRFG is classic literature, then WTRFG as read by Heald is a classic oration. Wow!
A masterful story with masterful oration!

This book is much more than a story. Mr. Rawls delivers a compelling tale that chronicles a young boy’s rite of passage and the two Red Bone hounds who are an answer to prayer.
The virtues of honesty, kindness to people, kindness to animals, teaching of responsibility and tenacious hard work are among the lessons of life that this author presents.
Urban America might have trouble relating to the social innocence of an Ozark way of life and the thought of allowing an adolescent boy to run off into the mountain night pursuing his hounds on the trail of a raccoon. But that was a completely different age that Mr. Rawls is writing about. Again, he is writing about a much simpler time.
Faith is at the core of this novel. Faith in God, faith in our fathers and even faith that our fathers must place in the hands of the next generation. There is an undertone, an almost unspoken veneration of the honor code of the outdoorsman; the hunter and the fisherman. This book even speaks to the faith that we should have in each other, especially in times of peril.
It’s a classic tale that some will loathe for its simplicity, its innocence and the complete respect that Billy has for his parents and elders. There’s no hint of rebellion in the boy, and there is no dysfunction in his family. It’s simply a clean portrayal of what life could be if we were committed to honest, hard work and always trying to do the right thing. Billy’s strong-willed Grandpa, on the other hand, does sneak some corn liquor in on a hunting trip.
This is a classic that every family should have with them on the long road trip to grandma’s house. But bring a box of tissues just in case. Someone in the car is bound to need them.
