    literature.stackexchange.com/questions/3277

    11. If the cover has creased, the layers of the paper will have separated and the fibres pulled out of alignment. The crease is then bulkier than the rest of the cover and stretched on the side it bends away from.

    The book is likely old. We would have read it back in the 2000's, and it was old back then, and likely already out of print. A very rough estimate would have it being published in the later half of the 1900's. Note that I'm only saying this because virtually all of the historical fiction we read was old and out of print.

They all run off the ridge, and, apparently, the boy went down the wrong side, and he got lost. The boy ended up needing to survive on his own.

    Unfortunately, a search using the terms "omniscient narrator" goodman "structure of literature" provides no results from Paul Goodman's book, which is out of print, so this turned out to be a dead end.
