We'd settled down last night to read this story, Daniel, fifteen, and I, amidst Daniel's fake yawns, his way of telling me he was about to be bored, despite my gushing, "Oh, I remember this one! It's good!!!"
Halfway through the story of a seventeenth century American boy trapped inside his home with a deadly panther, Daniel had taken over all the parts and was speeding through the story.
Its author, Russell Gordon Carter (1892-1957) wrote hundreds of short stories for children. They appeared in such publications as Boy's Life and Saturday Evening Post. In later life, when he branched into adult literature, he tended to write stories with an Irish theme.
