About this listen

 Dive into Seventeen A Tale of Youth and Summer Time and the Baxter Family, Especially William, a witty exploration of first love through the eyes of the charmingly naïve 17-year-old, William Sylvanus Baxter. Set in a quaint Midwestern town just before the onset of World War I, this delightful novel by Booth Tarkington masterfully blends humor with a nostalgic look at youth. Originally published as a series of sketches in the Metropolitan Magazine in 1914 and later compiled into a bestselling novel in 1916, Seventeen remains a timeless reflection on the follies and joys of young romance.
