Has anyone ever written a bio of Theodore Pratt? He's remembered here in Florida mostly for writing the novel "The Barefoot Mailman," which became the basis for the movie of the same name, but I know he wrote a lot more books than just that one and this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know of such a biography.
