Uncle 'Lish is a book written by Ralph Frye, which tells the story of a young boy named Tom who is sent to live with his Uncle Elisha, also known as Uncle 'Lish, on his farm in rural Appalachia. Tom quickly learns that Uncle 'Lish is a man of few words, but a wealth of knowledge about nature, farming, and life in general. As Tom spends more time on the farm, he begins to appreciate the simple way of life and the deep connection to the land that Uncle 'Lish embodies. However, Tom also discovers that Uncle 'Lish has a painful past that he has been trying to forget, and he must navigate this difficult terrain if he wants to truly understand his uncle and the world around him. The book is a heartwarming and insightful tale of family, resilience, and the power of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
