Addie is the cheekiest, most cunning, and lovable little rascal to ever roam the streets of Alabama and literature. This mischievous girl captures the reader's heart from the very first page, as stealing is Addie's specialty. Even the savvy Long Boy acknowledges her talent as he takes her under his wing. From him, Addie learns how to con widows into buying ornate Bibles with inscriptions from the beyond and how to transform a clunker into a brand-new ride. The novel, originally published in 1971 as "Addie Pray," became a worldwide success. A year later, it caught the attention of Peter Bogdanovich, whose film adaptation, titled "Paper Moon," became an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Joe David Brown fu un giornalista e autore, noto soprattutto per il suo romanzo Addie Pray, adattato nel film Paper Moon del 1973. Il suo lavoro catturava spesso un senso dell'umorismo e una visione acuta sulla vita della gente comune, in particolare durante i periodi di difficoltà economica. Brown evocava con abilità lo spirito della sua epoca e le ambientazioni abitate dai suoi personaggi, conferendo loro un'autenticità e un dettaglio notevoli.
