Written and illustrated by Lois Lenski. First edition. This book was a Newbury Honor recipient. It takes place in 1830 and is the story of a girl who travels to spend a year with her cousins in Connecticut while her parents are on a long sea voyage. The dust jacket is torn and chipped and the price has been clipped. The book itself is in excellent condition. At the end of the text, Lenski included a bibliography of this thoroughly researched book. On the second page of the bibliography, there is at the upper left of the page, a very small notation in pencil: M5 underlined with 1.88 below the line. Biding is tight. Please see photos as they are a part of the description.
