Guide Review
More Great Reading From Ruark
This book followed The Old Man and the Boy, capitalizing on its success. While, like many sequels, it lacks the full flavor of the original, it still comes through with classic Ruark style, brimming with the wisdom of the Old Man. One could say that Ruark himself should have taken that wisdom more to heart, for his hard living brought his life to a premature end at just 49 years of age. Published eight years before his death, The Old Man's Boy Grows Older is a don't-miss recounting of some great times from his youth with his grandfather.
