From the Publisher "Here and there among men, there are those who pause in the hurried rush to listen to the call of a life that is more real. He who sees too much is cursed for a dreamer, a fanatic, or a fool, by the mad mob, who, having eyes, see not, ears and hear not, and refuse to understand." ---"The Shepherd of the Hills"

I had seen the play, which is spectacular, and I had seen the movie (a bit disappointing to me), but nothing could prepare me for the book.Harold Bell Wright creates a masterpiece. And that is an understatement. Several plots develop throughout the story, each one seeming irrelevent when compared to another, yet they are all interwoven masterfully by the end of the book. There is the lonely stranger, who wanders into the hills, and changes the community and then learns something about himself and the meaning of life. Readers then watch Sammy Lane struggle to become a "sure 'nough lady," and will most likely cheer on Young Matt as he fights to steal Sammy's heart from Ollie Stewart, though he knows Ollie promises Sammy a rich city life. Readers are also involved in Young Matt's and Wash Gibb's struggles to the title of "Strongest Man in the Hills." And Old Matt, Aunt Mollie and the Shepherd are forced to relive the past and learn from it, no matter how strong the pain is.In conclusion, I just want to recommend this book to all people looking for some quality summer reading. The book may seem somewhat long, but it is hard to put down and you'll go through it quickly, wishing it would never end. Read this book and enjoy!

My parents have gone to see the play of it and they say the book is better. This book is truly better than any one of the many books I had to read in school. I wish they would make it part of the reading list in schools. Kids would enjoy it so much. If you are looking for a great all around book. This one is it. It has action, suspense, love, comedy, and of course drama. It is neither too long of a novel or too short.

Phillips' edition of Harold Bell Wright's The Shepherd of the Hills accurately traces the story line.In his attempt to create a readable version of the novel for contemporary readers, presumably school children, Phillips has omitted lines and references to characters, rewritten Wright's awkward sentences, and omitted Ozark vernacular still spoken today.The 1907 edition, reprinted by the Shepherd of the Hills Historical Society in 1987, serves as a basis for my comments. Phillips omits the Wright's dedication of the book to his wife as well as the quotation from Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, both of which give insight into Wright's insipiration for his novel.Future literary historians and linguists will not glean the richness of the Ozark dialect because Phillips omits phrasing peculiar to the region. For example, "I don't guess" which is used today by people in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas is rewritten as "I don't think" on page 23.Similarly Colonel Dewey's "Bal'" is rewritten as "the mountain up there." Indeed, "Bal'" is not recognizable as mountain; but "Bal'" is the pronunciation of "Bald," which refers to the clear-cut top of the mountain.The vigilante group, known as the "Bald Knobbers," would meet at night on the top of such mountains devoid of forest."Dod durned" is changed to "hog tied" on page 25; the former is a mild expletive, the latter is vapid."You can't see much of it though on account of the fog," page 32, is actually "mists." Mountain mists are not exactly the same as fog; moreover, the sadness of the conversation is one of mists artistically.Phillips omits the comparison of Young Matt's strength to that of Wash Gibbs,page 31; the reference is a foreshadowing of things to come and the fearsomeness of the baldknobbers.In my opinion, Phillips would have done better by providing footnotes to explain Ozark words and phrasing. Eliminating speeches and references to characters eliminates the flavor of the Ozark dialect, mars Harold Bell Wright's craft, and eliminates many linguistic and artistic fossils which future readers and scholars might cherish.
