As a young boy, Richard Mason lived the life of the paperboy, ‘Richard, in the novel. His interactions with the people in the small town of Norphlet, Arkansas, and the surrounding woods and swamps, form the basis of his seven-book Richard, the Paperboy series. It was a time of brown, sunburned feet and shirtless summers, when a boy’s only entertainment was his imagination. Richard Mason has written seven books in the Richard, the Paperboy series: The Red Scarf, Lyin’ Like a Dog, The Yankee Doctor, The Danged Swamp! “I will drink your blood” The Vampire-Werewolf of Flat Creek Swamp, The Mystery of the Canebrake, The River Rat, and a Catahoula Hog Dog, all part of the series inspired by his early years in Arkansas.

Richard the Paperboy's dog: Not just any hound, but the hero dog of Norphlet! A paperboy’s dog who everyone in the little village adored. It’s a Tom Sawyer like tale of a remarkable dog who stayed in trouble, because he couldn’t resist trying to be a “good dog.” A nip at a bully’s seat, being the only dog ever baptized, and being dognapped could only happen to one remarkable dog, Sniffer.

It’s the summer of 1944 and Richard, the Norphlet Paperboy, John Clayton, and Ears are in one heck of a mess. Yeah, there was an ‘accident’ involving a small herd of 10 Chihuahuas, which has sent the whole state into an uproar, and the three boys are right in the middle of it. An attack by the Chihuahuas on Richard, the paperboy has left the brown, award-winning Chihuahuas with white spots, and as Richard will tell you, “It was all a danged accident, but we’re in big trouble, and if lying won’t get us off, then maybe the Norphlet Mafia is gonna hafta do something really, really bad. You know, like dognapping, or something so gross it will run the Little Rock private eye right out of town.”

About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
