Spencer's Mountain
Spencer's Mountain | Earl Hamner, Jr.
5 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
High up on a mountain, young Clay-Boy Spencer joins his father and eight uncles to hunt the mythical white deer. What he finds on the mountainside changes his lifeand marks him for a special destiny. Years later, Clay-Boy is the first in his family to get the chance to go to college; but success as an adult is much more complicated and bittersweet than the legendary success of Clay-Boys childhood quest. A heartwarming novel of love, family, and hope, Spencers Mountain inspired the popular television show The Waltons, which starred Richard Thomas, Andrew Duggan, and Patricia Neal, and ran for nine years between 1972 and 1981. More than fifty years after its publication, this novel still has the power to inspire and move readers all over the world.

After my daughter and I binge watched the entire Little House on the Prairie series we moved on to the Waltons which we also enjoyed immensely. So naturally I had to read Spencer‘s Mountain on which the Waltons is loosely based. This book was also a delight, surprisingly funny and even a bit racy. It was fun to spend some more time with characters I‘ve grown to love.

Sace I love LHOTP and the Waltons as well. I read this book a loooong time ago. I wonder if I could locate my copy again. 5y

People are coming up with all sorts of profound ideas for today‘s #LilithJuly prompt, and I‘m just think #DontDreamItsOver was a song by Crowded House, and the Waltons sure lived in a crowded house 😂 The TV series was based on the tagged book.

G‘night grandma. G‘night John-Boy. G‘night Mary Ellen. G‘night Elizabeth

Horrible day off, so I‘m in my pajamas, waiting on my tea with lemon and honey to be done steeping, and taking a trip to Schuyler, Virginia without leaving my couch. Time to disappear for a while.

Kaye Walton‘s Mountain. Good night, Mary Ellen. 7y
