There were two unpleasant thorns in the year with his raccoon: a preacher threatening Rascal if he raided his produce again (not a Godly man to think the Lord's creatures are for killing) and a new sourpuss housekeeper. Knowing the main events, I might not need to read the novel. I whizzed through these 80 pages in a day. I got " Little Rascal", shortened for children and the whole "Rascal" story, from garage sales or thrift shops. We meet Sterling and his Dad, a lawyer, in 1918.
Their brother survived world war I in France. They adored Sterling and helped raise him, after their Mom, Sarah Elizabeth Nelson North, died at 47 in 1914.
It matters so much that he had an animal-loving, kind Dad and sisters. This is a lovely memory by a Grandfatherly person for his Grandchildren, about being ages 11 to 12 in Wisconsin, raising a baby raccoon.
