A fantastic story and very well written -- Anyone who appreciates the nuances or language and a great story will enjoy this book. The story of Billy Calvin and his learning of words held my attention and fascinated me. Even the title, is perfect. I found it intriguing to think about how a small child might encounter and learn the meaning of words.

"A deftly crafted and inherently fascinating novel by an author with a very special and genuine flair for narrative storytelling, Bill Castle's "It Was and Was Not So" is a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to both community and academic library Contemporary Literary Fiction collections. One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory long after it has been finished and set back upon the shelf."
