Hardcover
(Coward-McCann, inc Jan. 1, 1943)
Mountain Born is about a very young boy and the lamb his mother saves from death. Peter, the boy, adopts the lamb and raises it by bottle from the day of its birth. The two become inseparable. They share many adventures with an older wise workhand named Benj. The book covers a span of seven years as Peter and his goat, Biddy grow up together. The story is interesting and describes life on a mountain sheep farm during the early 20th century. Peter's family live off the land, growing everything they need. Their clothing even comes from the wool of their sheep. Life is simple, requires hard work, and creates a strong bond between the humans and their animals. This is an endearing story of the cycle of life and a boy's growth into young manhood.
