This story has entranced readers of all ages since it was first
published twenty-five years ago. The tale tells the story of a boy
orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and
half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee
during the Great Depression. 'Little Tree' as his grandparents call
him is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains, to respect
nature in the Cherokee Way, taking only what is needed, leaving the
rest for nature to run its course. Little Tree also learns the
often callous ways of the white businessmen and tax collectors, and
how Grandpa, in hilarious vignettes, scares them away from his
illegal attempts to enter the cash economy. Grandma teaches Little
Tree the joys of reading and education. But when Little Tree is
taken away for schooling by whites, we learn of the cruelty meted
out to Indian children in an attempt to assimilate them and of
Little Tree's perception of the Anglo world and how it differs from
the Cherokee Way.
