Death be not proud (1st Perennial Classics ed.)

Johnny Gunther was only seventeen years old when he died of a brain tumor.

During the months of his illness, everyone near him was unforgettably impressed by his level-headed courage, his wit and quiet friendliness, and, above all, his unfaltering patience through times of despair.

This deeply moving book is a fathers memoir of a brave, intelligent, and spirited boy.
