    This book is part of the soundtrack to my childhood. I highly recommend it. (My mother saved my copy and gave it to me at my bridal shower; I hadn't seen the book in probably 20 years. Mine sits on my shelf between my other lifetime favorites: Nancy Drew, All the King's Men, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, and What the Dog Saw.)

It was the year when Jonathan was eight that he went over Hemlock Mountain. He was a fine big boy for his age. That was why his mother could send him over the Mountain all by himself.

The winter had been a cold one. Even now, in early spring, there was snow on the ground. The birds and the squirrels and the rabbits had a hard time finding anything to eat, so every day Jonathan remembered to feed them. Jonathan loved animals and birds.
