Uncle Will of Wildwood: Nineteenth-Century Life in the Bluegrass
McVey, Frances Jewell, Jewell, Robert Berry

Wildwood was such a domain, ruled by Uncle Will. Illustrator(s): Foose, Robert James. Num Pages: 128 pages, 33 illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBBSK; BGH; HBTB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).
