On a quiet autumn afternoon in 1944, nine-year-old Morris Bird III decides to visit a friend who lives on the other side of town. So he grabs the handle of his red wagon and, with his little sister in tow, begins an incredible pilgrimage across Cleveland . . . and out of childhood forever. Set against the backdrop of one of the worst industrial disasters in American history, Don Robertson's enduring, beloved masterwork is a remarkable story of destiny, bravery, and responsibility, as fresh and relevant as when it first appeared in print.

If there was one genuine truth that Morris Bird III thought he understood, it was that the world forever and relentlessly changed. But only in one direction—from simple to complicated. When he was nine, Morris Bird III learned the meaning of bravery. Now, at seventeen, he's on the verge of adulthood . . . and he's fallen in love. But it's 1952 and the Korean War hangs over his head like a dangling sword—and his prickly, complicated relationship with his cold and silent father has never been satisfactorily resolved. When Morris's own mortality stares him in the face, he learns what it truly means to become a man. The Greatest Thing That Almost Happened is the final book in Don Robertson's classic trilogy featuring one of the most endearing characters in American literature.

Signed Edition, 1987, first printing (#478 of 500 issued by Stephen King's Philtrum Press), SIGNED by both Don Robertson, author, and Stephen King, who contributed an Introduction, on a special page at the back, a like-new, unread, unworn, unopened, unmarked hardcover, with an equally fine unclipped ($25 Limited Edition, $50 Signed Edition at top of front flap) dust jacket, from Philtrum Press. By Don Robertson. 276 pages. No ISBN. ** From an Amazon reviewer: "This book should be among the classics, not the out of print. It's full of vulgar language and vulgar acts, but it is also raw and real. This novel is complex and poignant. And will have you thinking about a great many things once your able to put it down. I bought this book because I found out Robertson is one of Stephen King's favorites. It's easy to see the influence in style. I've ordered two more out of print Robertson novels and eagerly await their arrival. Robertson is a modern genius. I'm still trying to figure out why he's out of print. This guy should be read in the colleges of America. Robertson can outwrite Don DeLillo any day of the week. And I like DeLillo.
