Shoeless Joe

By W.P. Kinsella.

Filmed as Field of Dreams (1989), directed by Phil Alden Robinson.

Published by Mariner Books Classics.

First published 1982.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0395957737

ISBN-13: 978-0395957738

Description:

“A moonlit novel about baseball, dreams, family, the land, and literature." – Sports Illustrated.

“If you build it, he will come.” These mysterious words, spoken by an Iowa baseball announcer, inspire Ray Kinsella to carve a baseball diamond in his cornfield in honor of his hero, the baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson. What follows is both a rich, nostalgic look at one of our most cherished national pastimes and a remarkable story about fathers and sons, love and family, and the inimitable joy of finding your way home.
