The perfect book for your teen and adult friends for Christmas! (From the Back Cover): Have you ever wondered what it must have been like to live at the Hemingway House in Key West? Now, for the first time, young and old alike can follow eight-year-old Gig Hemingway as he goes out on the Pilar for the first time, watches as the wall is built around the house, and plays “pirates” with his older brother. There is the childhood delight of star-gazing, a mysterious basement, and the ever-present lighthouse across the street that flashes its beam of light into the boys’ bedroom every night! It is also a behind-the-scenes look at the life at the Hemingway’s and the hard-working people who made the household work. It is about a life of privilege during the Great Depression. There is Papa’s big-game hunting and fishing, Mummy’s success in making the property on Whitehead Street a “tropical paradise,” and a menagerie of pets at the Hemingway house that ranged from a pair of raccoons named Roger and Miriam to flamingos and goldfish! Most of all, the stories are almost true! All descriptions of the house and its contents are faithful to historical accounts. More importantly, it is about being a boy in a grown-up world, playing quietly while Papa wrote, the giant sailfish in the hallway that seemed to stare back like it was alive…and adventure!
