Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Believing Years" by Edmund Lester Pearson is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a group of young boys during their idyllic childhood in a quaint New England town, focusing on their experiences and adventures as they transition from school days to the freedom of summer vacations. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the last day of school as the protagonist and his peers eagerly await the bell signaling their freedom. The character of Mr. Colburn, a strict teacher represented through the lens of the boys' disdain for arithmetic, serves as a formidable barrier to their long-anticipated vacation. Through their excitement, frustrations with school, and musings about the joys of summer, readers are immersed in a nostalgic depiction of childhood innocence. The boys' longing for adventure and exploration sets the tone for the delightful escapades that will unfold throughout their "believing years."
