Synopsis
This autobiography describes Forrest Carter's boyhood with his Cherokee grandparents in the mountains of Tennessee. Carter, called "Little Tree" by his grandparents, who took him in when he was orphaned at the age of 5, recounts his boyhood years in prose which combines a child's innocence with a gift for storytelling. The book contains hair-raising and often hilarious stories and is infused with the traditional native wisdom of the Cherokee. The late Forrest Carter was Storyteller-in-Council to the Cherokee Nation and the author of "Gone To Texas", the basis of the film "The Outlaw Josey Wales".

Review
"Some of it is sad, some of it is hilarious, some of it is unbelievable, and all of it is charming."
"There's humor, tragedy, tenderness and most of all, love . . . . A lot of people received a lot of education from their grandparents that schools don't offer. But few have expressed it as well as Little Tree has. Very good reading."
