On a cold Christmas Eve in 1985, a Nebraskan farmer discovered a nine-year old boy's frozen body in a wooded area. Authorities said it looked like he was left to die. The story of "Little Boy Blue" was printed in a national magazine two years later. A couple said they thought he was a little boy they used to look after sometimes--and investigations led directly to the boy's father who had taken the boy when he severed his ties with their Amish Community. Here is that shocking story. Very clean binding of black half cloth with red titles, red paper-wrapped boards; tight, solid and square with sharp corners; no wear to extremities; internals spotless. Edgeworn jacket with chipping along edges, clean and bright. 373 pages. 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Warner Books, New York, 1990.
