The Go-Getter is Kyne's most famous work, first published by
William Randolph Hearst in 1921. The story centers around disabled
World War I veteran Bill Peck, a worker who must overcome many
obstacles in order to build a successful life for himself. At every
turn he is thwarted by life's circumstances and must rely on his
own tenacity and wits to see him through.American novelist PETER B.
KYNE (1880-1957) was born in San Francisco, California. From early
on it was clear that he had a gift for writing, and his time in the
army during the Spanish-American War and World War I gave him
plenty to write about. Kyne's novels include The Three Godfathers
(1913) and Cappy Ricks (1916).
A book for all ages, a book for all times, treasured by millions.
Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse was adapted
into the BAFTA and Academy Award® winning animated short film.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” asked the mole.
“Kind,” said the boy.
In this beautiful book, follow the tale of a curious boy, a greedy
mole, a wary fox and a wise horse who find themselves together in
sometimes difficult terrain, sharing their greatest fears and biggest
discoveries about vulnerability, kindness, hope, friendship and love.
