INSCRIPTION FROM GORDON ARNOLD on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Skippy Jessiman is a 14-year-old farm boy with an obsession for baseball, a powerful pitching arm and a conviction there is more to see in the world than the rump of his old plough horse Charlie. In the winter of 1919, Skippy's best friend Jordi Duncan and other veterans of the Great War return to Teal Marsh, a small prairie community, bringing with them the deadly Spanish flu. After the Spanish flue kills his girlfriend, Skippy puts his baseball dreams on hold as he offers to help the village doctor fight the flu any way he can. Skippy's War weaves together the hopes, dreams and prejudices of the prairie pioneers as the community bands together in a time when surviving a major illness was as much a matter of good luck as good medicine. Very Good Paperback Self-Published 2014 Winnipeg, MB
