AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A reluctant hero tells his story. It happened, nineteen fifty eight in New York City.

Teenager Tommy wonders about life. Especially as he befriends the young vagrant fishing on the local pier. They become best friends and confidantes. And Tommy is in love with the French Foreign Minister's daughter Gabriella! A twist of fate takes them on a magical journey. A dangerous adventure. All the way to The Rock!

It is an entirely original story inspired by the characters of Mark Twain. The story, the places and the facts contained may or may not resemble reality and are conceived by the writer only' (Origin Theatrical).

Notes

  • 'Roger D Barrington is a first time author. This book marks hid debut in the creation of an original story book. It has been conceived and deliberately written for crossover into a musical genre and other forms of reading, listening, or viewing entertainment' (iii).
