Together they find fame, and they eventually travel to the nation’s capitol so Willie’s beautiful singing can be appreciated all the more. Yet all the attention and bustle of city life distress Willie and make him stop singing, so Miss Polly brings Willie back to his native woods, where he resumes his tranquil life and music-making with her. But the world remembers and reveres Willie and the genius of his song.Share Willie’s timeless story with the children in your life.

It’s a wonder...and the joyful pathos of the last part of it choked me all up—it was so true and so specifically bully. The Varmint, for al its fun, is what I call really serious writing and is worth thousands of the faddy pretentious things lately present.; it’s infinitely rarer and harder to do.”It is a great joy to be able to make Owen Johnson’s Lawrenceville stories available again, both for those who have always loved them and for those who have never encountered them before.
