- Synopsis
- The novel that inspired Field of Dreams: &“A lyrical, seductive, and altogether winning concoction.&” —The New York Times Book Review One of Sports Illustrated&’s 100 Greatest Sports Books &“If you build it, he will come.&” When Ray Kinsella hears these mysterious words spoken in the voice of an Iowa baseball announcer, he is inspired to carve a baseball diamond in his cornfield. It is a tribute to his hero, the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson, whose reputation was forever tarnished by the scandalous 1919 World Series. What follows is a timeless story that is &“not so much about baseball as it is about dreams, magic, life, and what is quintessentially American&” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). &“A triumph of hope.&” —The Boston Globe &“A moonlit novel about baseball, dreams, family, the land, and literature.&” —Sports Illustrated
