SOUNDER WILLIAM H. ARMSTRONG WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL Author's Note A man keeps, like his love, his courage dark. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Fifty years ago I learned to read at a round table in the centre of a large, sweet-smelling, steam-softened kitchen. My teacher. —William H. Armstrong I n his Author’s Note at the beginning of Sounder, William Armstrong describes sitting around his family’s kitchen table when he was a child and listening to a gray-haired black man tell stories from Aesop, the Old Testament, Homer, and history. The man was the teacher in the one-room school for black children. This is the story of a poor sharecropper’s son and his loyal companion, a coon hound named Sounder. The boy’s father and Sounder come home night after night from possum hunting empty-handed. But one morning, the delicious, sweet smell of ham and sausage fills their tiny shack; finally, the family will eat a real meal.
