ABOUT THE AUTHOR
WILSON RAWLS was born on a small farm in the Ozarks. He spent his youth in the heart of the Cherokee nation, prowling the hills and river bottoms with his old blue tick hound-his only companion. His first writing was done with his fingers in the dust of the country roads and the sands along the river. He told his first stories to his dog, and it was not until his family moved to Muskogee, Oklahoma, and he could attend high school that he had access to real books. Since its publication, Where the Red Fern Grows has assumed the status of a modern classic and has been made into a widely acclaimed motion picture.
