Fishin' Jimmy

"Fishin' Jimmy" by Annie Trumbull Slosson Jimmy is admired for his rough familiarity with the natural world. Kind to children and animals, fishing is his favorite way to get in touch with nature. Though he spends most of his time away from people, he takes his faith seriously and is known as a joyous man who is ready to spread the gospel to all those who will listen. Though the book has religious overtones, it's a charming story that allows readers to peek at a simpler time.
