Lippincott coming out in 1941 followed by The White Tower, River of The Sun, Windom's Way, and Banner in the Sky which was a 1955 Newbery Honor book. All of these titles became small motion pictures.

The story appears in several anthologies. It was originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1940. Issue #35.
