Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two, dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own—Old Dan and Little Ann—he’s ecstatic. It doesn’t matter that times are tough; together they’ll roam the hills of the Ozarks.
   Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan’s brawn, Little Ann’s brains, and Billy’s sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters—now friends—and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair, and that the seeds of the future can come from the scars of the past.

《红色羊齿草的故乡》出版于1961年，书中的故事发生在20世纪30年代的大萧条时期。它所体现的勇敢、坚定、拼搏、进取、忠诚、友爱的精神鼓舞了几代美国少年，它所描绘的艰辛、酸涩却充满快乐和惊喜的童年引起所有读者的共鸣，因此成为畅销不衰的文学经典。
