What a wonderful book—we could always use more stories from what seems like simpler times, especially to read to our children. The age range for this book is 9 – 12, but I read it aloud to my 8-year-old niece, and while I had to explain a few things, she loved it. That was refreshing since she's mostly into someone called Hannah Montana these days. "A Year Down Yonder", its sequel, is what "Empire Strikes Back" is to "Star Wars". Surprisingly better! Both are great books to read as autumn turns to winter (after all, the Great Depression is the story's backdrop). A recommended read.
