“Fools and Children” by Edward T. Frye is now available for purchase
“I am a child of the ‘50s. I lived a childhood that, until relatively recently, I always thought was typical of people my age. I have come to realize that such is not the case. People seem to relate to this or that from my stories, but I find that few seem to have experienced the rich, full, childhood freedoms those of us in small town America have enjoyed. This is my story of that childhood.”

“Fools and Children” by Edward T. Frye is an unlinking and touching collection of memorable childhood escapades as it chronicles the outlandish and often dangerous exploits of these creative but naïve lads.
Filled with leisurely-told tales, colorful characters, cultural references to the Golden ’50s, and humor, Fools and Children takes Baby Boomers back to their own youthful years. With the freedoms available to these young adventurers in a simpler time and place, their zeal for life is reflective of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
