Quoting from the back cover:

“Caden and Corey, young brothers and best friends, are spending the night with their dad in a teepee on Old Baldy Mountain. It is the dead of winter and the darkness and cold and snow are unrelenting. The three hardy campers cook dinner over their campfire and are about to turn in for a good night’s sleep when Corey peers out of the teepee and sees something terrifying. It’s big, it’s growling, and it’s coming to get them!”

A Snowy Night On Old Baldy Mountain is a delightful story full of excitement, danger and adventure. Considering the book has only 48 pages, you can imagine that it is jam packed and moves right along. It’s believable, exciting, and entertaining. A young child would certainly enjoy this story.

Edward Fotheringill is a professor of philosophy at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, and A Snowy Night On Old Baldy Mountain is his first children’s book The cover is colorful, attractive and fun; the illustrations by Jeff Moyes add to the reality of the wintery adventure.

Other novels by Edward Fotheringill include: Lanterns in the Mist, Darkness Withdrawn OR The Eclipse of Nietzsche’s Shadow, Halfmoon Confidential, Anaximander’s Annex. If you like quality metaphysical mysteries by a consummate, intelligent writer, join the cult and read one of the above.
