Joe Bass Adventures Series
Christopher Barry is a lifetime resident of South Dennis, New Jersey, a small, rural town near the Delaware Bay shore that has a rich history as a nineteenth century shipbuilding and commercial hub. He was inspired as a child by the stories told to him by the area’s elderly natives. It is not only the history, but the culture of self-reliant craftsmen and entrepreneurs upon which the Joe Bass novels are based. Chris Barry’s use of locale and local lore is masterful. The author is also the illustrator.
