Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prodigal Son Ten Years Later
It may be that this boy was the prodigal in real life from whom the Author of a famous parable sketched the character of the Prodigal Son. But if so, he has ceased to live in any one age, and dwells now in all time. And this is not only because he appears in a literary production that is immor tal, but because as a matter of fact he is a character of all ages. Like the (wandering Jew, every century has seen him.
