Eddie Frye and Herbie Bierly take the reader along for their outlandish and often dangerous adventures in their small town. Set in the mid-1950s, Fools and Children chronicles the escapades of two young lads hell-bent on action and adventure. They and their rogue's gallery of friends create havoc and consternation for the town residents when they flood a section of town, loose a horse on the streets, and plan a bank robbery. They survive some perilous undertakings in caves and streams about town, becoming both heroes and victims in this coming of age memoir. Life's lessons come from poignant experiences with death, guns, horses, and girls.Fools and Children is an unblinking and touching reflection of the Eisenhower years, taking Baby Boomers back to a lifestyle now lost to us. The book is a collection of leisurely-told tales, filled with colorful characters and events of a simpler time.
