Outlaw Pete Details
When Bruce Springsteen was a little boy, he learned the story of Brave Cowboy Bill, about a pure-hearted little cowboy. It was the first of Bruce's Western loves, which now range from John Ford films to Mexican music to Native American art. Each of these inspirations, plus what he learned as a man and a rock 'n' roller about how to combine whimsy and wisdom, were stations on the way to Outlaw Pete, a modern legend of a criminal who starts out in nappies and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood.
Reviews
Disclaimer:I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, so I pre-ordered this book.I love the illustrations and the story, but it's a little darker than most children's books. Bruce addresses that at the end of the book when he explains that he believes children are better able to understand redemption, ect. than people give them credit for. I would tend to agree with Bruce!
