- Sparrow, Donald B. Growing Up on Cape Cod: Four Brothers Learning to Stand Tall. Great Oaks Publishing. 1999. 166p. Soft wraps. Signed by the author. “Growing Up On Cape Cod” perfectly captures a simpler time in down-to-earth voice that is both wry and filled with tenderness for the people and places of the author’s youth. Carving a living out of the sand and brambles of Depression-era Eastham was not easy. Growing asparagus and turnips, scratching for quahogs, helping to build and then managing a golf course were just some of the father’s activities as he survived and even prospered on the marshes, meadows and beaches immortalized by Henry Beston. A few of the adventures of the author and the three brothers on the farmlands, fresh and salt water ponds and shores of Cape Cod – they caddied for Bobby Jones, fought a battle with a 40 pound snapping turtle, were treated by a deaf dentist and a doctor who performed house call tonsillectomies, made President Roosevelt an honorary member of their stamp club, kept captured skunks under the barn for future processing to pelts and gleaned Prohibition bottles of whiskey from the shallow waters of Cape Cod. “Growing Up On Cape Cod” has charmed readers of all ages since its publication in 1999. (M). $14.95.
