Bevis: The Story of a Boy, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Bevis learns by making and trying, turning a simple case into a craft project and a splash-filled adventure. In this volume, a curious boy tinkers with a makeshift raft, tests his ideas by the brook, and spends sunny days learning to swim under patient guidance.

Bevis grows inventive and stubborn as he experiments with wood, tools, and a plan to ride the water. With his dog Pan and a careful governor, he discovers how to move with the current, balance his body, and learn through trial and error. The chapters blend play with practical problem solving, capturing a boy’s imagination as he builds, paddles, and navigates small risks.
