Yondering is a collection of short stories by American author Louis L'Amour, published in 1980. A departure from L'Amour's traditional subject matter of the Old West, Yondering contains a mix of adventure stories and character studies, primarily set in the first half of the 20th century. Two of them are set during the World War II era, with many of the stories drawing upon the author's own life experiences.[1] The book's publication celebrated the milestone of L'Amour having an estimated 100 million books in print at that time of publication.
A limited leather-bound hardcover edition was available direct from Bantam Books at the time of the first paperback publication in 1980.
The book was revised in 1989, with the primary difference the inclusion of some of L'Amour's previously unpublished short stories in a similar vein ; "Ruins of El Walarieh," "And Proudly Die," Show Me The Way Home," and "So You Want Adventure." Excised was a "The Moon of the Trees Broken by Snow: A Christmas Story" which, according to the author's son Beau L'Amour, "never really belonged in this book."[2]
