Over the River and Through the Wood - Hardcover

by Lydia Maria Child (Author), Christopher Manson (Illustrator)

"An exceptionally handsome treat." -Booklist

Lydia Maria Child's beloved poem turned classic song embodies the magic of bundling up and riding a horse-drawn sleigh to visit Grandmother for Thanksgiving.

The joys of Thanksgiving are indelibly captured in this glorious paring of text and art.

Set in the nineteenth century, this story features Christopher Manson's indelible wood carvings, which capture the wonders of winter--such as sledding and ice-skating--and the Thanksgiving feast.
