Eleven-year-old Eldon grows up on a rural farm with his parents, brother Wayne, and extended family, including Uncle David. When winter comes, they gather in the Winter Room and David spins tales of long ago and foreign lands. But one night, he tells the tale of “The Woodcutter,” with tragic consequences for everyone. Gary Paulsen’s account of the power of storytelling was awarded a Newbery Honor in 1990 and is in Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket.
