The Light in The Forest Adventure Paperback Book by Conrad Richter Bantam 1953

When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrior Cuyloga. 

Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen-year-old True Son. 

Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them. 

A beautifully written, sensitively told story of a white boy brought up by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic.

Book is in acceptable condition. General shelf and corner wear. Some white marks on the front and back cover. Some fraying along the cover edges. The spine has some issues (see photo #3). Staining on back cover. Slight Spine Slanting. Cover creasing. Area bear the spine feels lumpy, and some of the pages are curled; I presume water damage. A solid reading copy. Please see photos for details, and let me know if you have any questions.
