Description
|
|
|
|
The realistic paintings of book jacket artist Wendell Minor perfectly suit this introduction to the 19th-century Shaker society, for readers 4 to 8 and younger listeners. Crisply detailed, carefully balanced, and full of lush natural color, the images echo Shaker traditions of serving God with the labor of their own hands and living a simple, agrarian life in harmony with the earth and with the rhythm of its changing seasons. Besides the aspects of Shaker life described in short verses by Ann Turner, the book provides a brief history of the Shakers and further descriptions of what made their utopian society unique and memorable.
