Family of Childrens Author Robb White Republish the Beloved Classic...

Children'ss classic adventure novel The Lion'ss Paw, one of the most sought after out-of-print books of all time, is back in print through the self-publishing efforts of the author'ss family. The Lion'ss Paw is the first of a series of books written by popular children'ss novelist Robb White to be published by the family'ss own publishing imprint, A.W. INK, Inc.

The Lion'ss Paw is an uplifting story of brother and sister orphans who team up with a boy whose U.S. Navy Lt. father is MIA during WWII. The three children are chased on a thrilling adventure steering a sailboat hundreds of miles through the inland waterways of Florida - from the Atlantic Coast all the way to the Island of Captiva in the Gulf of Mexico - keeping one step ahead of the Coast Guard, bounty hunters, alligators and tropical storms that threaten to deprive them of their quest for freedom. The Lion'ss Paw is a timeless story of children learning to blend their skills and strengths, overcome obstacles, work as a team and trust each other.

The Lion'ss Paw, originally published in hardcover by Doubleday in 1946 and in paperback by Scholastic in 1954, has been out of print for many years. Copies of the Doubleday and Scholastic editions go for hundreds of dollars on eBay, Alibris and other rare book selling websites, and The Lion'ss Paw has been listed as one of the Top 10 Most Sought After Out-of-Print Books year after year by Bookfinder.com.

Murray Weiss, President of Literal Media, which manages the literary works of Robb White, said, As many children/young adult publishers are more focused on the 'snext Harry Potter's, the family of Robb White has taken matters into their own hands by republishing 'sThe Lion'ss Paw's in hardcover through their own self-publishing imprint this fall. The book has been cherished by several generations of kids who by now have their own children and grandchildren, who now have the opportunity to read 'sThe Lion'ss Paw's themselves. The book has received rave news reviews:
