En espa�ol: "GOOD OLD BOY: Una Infancia Delta" es una novela para lectores j�venes sobre las aventuras de un ni�o que creci� en Mississippi despu�s de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El autor Willie Morris, ex editor de Harper's Magazine en Nueva York, escribi� "GOOD OLD BOY" cuando su hijo David, de 10 a�os, le pregunt� "�C�mo fue crecer en Mississippi?" La respuesta de Morris fue una historia eterna de c�mo creci� en Yazoo City, Mississippi, en la d�cada de 1950, deambulando por la ciudad con sus amigos, gastando bromas pesadas y teniendo aventuras. Desde que se public� por primera vez en 1971, Morris recibi� cientos de cartas de ni�os que le dec�an que los pueblos donde crec�an se parec�an mucho a su ciudad Yazoo. Otros expresaron su decepci�n por no haber experimentado aventuras en un pueblo peque�o como las de las historias de Morris. "A esto �ltimo, yo responder�a", escribe el autor en su introducci�n a la presente edici�n, "no importa, la aventura est� en lo m�s profundo del coraz�n de cualquier joven que la desee, esperando all� a ser convocada, seg�n cu�nto la desee." "GOOD OLD BOY" se recomienda para sexto a noveno grado.
