Lucy's Summer

Informationen zum Autor Donald Hall was not only one of America's poet laureates but one of the great personal essayists. "If any American writer deserves the description of 'man of letters,'" the New York Times Book Review wrote, "it is Donald Hall." Mr. Hall approached writing as he approached life-with simplicity, affection, and a wry wit. He distilled the human experience with a sense of humor that readers will return to again and again, each time learning something new. His work glows with the affection he held for the land, the people, and the customs of rural New England, and especially for the small, New Hampshire dairy farm near Ragged Mountain he visited every summer as a child. Klappentext In this companion to the bestselling Lucy's Christmas, award-winning poet Hall and acclaimed illustrator McCurdy recreate the memorable summer of 1910 in the life of young Lucy Wells. McCurdy's beautiful scratchboard illustrations evoke the splendid realities of times past. Full color. Zusammenfassung A collection of poems, which bring readers back to a simpler and gentler America in which pleasure was derived from making as much as buying, where politics were truly local and not a national circus, and when worth was determined by character, not price.
