Ruth Sawyer was Mr. McCloskey's mother-in-law.
Johnny lives with an old man and an old woman. When their livestock dies or becomes injured, food is scarce. So the old woman sends Johnny off with a journey cake. The Journey Cake becomes animated and rolls away. Johnny and animals chase it in hopes of eating it. The Journey Cake provides a way for Johnny to be reunited with the old man and old woman.
*Highly recommend. Reminds me of The Gingerbread Man tale.
