It's written in the voice of a nine-year-old boy, perhaps Ring's son. As Ring as his son head for their home in Connecticut, Yardley quotes what...
Hemingway memorabilia also set new marks. A series of 30 letters and cards to his parents during the years 1920 to 1928 brought $65,000. The Bible he carried as an ambulance driver in World War I fetched $4,500. One dealer even paid $2,750 for two pages of nine-year-old Ernest's scrawl describing how a clam in his school aquarium caught a goldfish by the tail...
