  The classic tale of a female Huck Finn, Peter Bogdanovich's film version of the book was nominated for four Academy Awards. Set in the darkest days of the Great Depression, this is the timeless story of an 11-year-old orphan's rollicking journey through the Deep South with a con man who just might be her father. Brimming with humour, pathos, and an irresistible narrative energy, this is American storytelling at its finest. Paper Moon is tough, vibrant, and ripe for rediscovery.

  A novel to love and recommend...'A faultlessly engineered escape machine that can transport willing passengers to an enchanting world...All you have to do is believe in an eleven-year-old grafter and her presumptive father, who rattle around the Southland in the year 1935, bilking widows, Alabama peanut farmers and even used-car dealers out of hard Depression currency. It isn't hard to believe in Addie Pray, because Joe David Brown cons the reader almost immediately with his slick story-telling and easy charm. When Addie and Long Boy, her dad, tire of playing variations on the bait-and-switch game and other routines, they launch a gigantic caper that may net millions and is full of ironic whammies. {Paper Moon] is 24-carat fun.'
