It's the tightest, most polished tale in the collection.' - Fiona Webster CONTENTS: Hope Springs Eternal: Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption Summer of Corruption: Apt Pupil Fall from Innocence: The Body A Winter's Tale: The Breathing Method. The final novella, 'Breathing Lessons,' is a horror yarn told by a doctor, about a patient whose indomitable spirit keeps her baby alive under extraordinary circumstances.

These first three novellas have been made into well-received movies: 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption' into Frank Darabont's 1994 The Shawshank Redemption, 'Apt Pupil' into Bryan Singer's 1998 film Apt Pupil, and 'The Body' into Rob Reiner's Stand by Me (1986). The trip becomes a character-rich rite of passage from youth to maturity. In the third story, a writer looks back on the trek he took with three friends on the brink of adolescence to find another boy's corpse. The second concerns a boy who discards his innocence by enticing an old man to travel with him into a reawakening of long-buried evil. The first is a rich, satisfying, nonhorrific tale about an innocent man who carefully nurtures hope and devises a wily scheme to escape from prison. 'Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four novellas, markedly different in tone and subject, each on the theme of a journey. Includes three stories that were adapted into films.
