This is an interesting book. When I first saw it, I assumed it was a non-fiction. I mean, wood engravings and details about old New England villages?
But it was made as a work portfolio a young fictional engraver would have sent to a prospective employer.
So it is fiction, but full of historical detail.
And cool wood engravings.

As a bit of history nerd, I enjoy this book.
Pretty sure it would be a hard sell to any non-history nerd.

Sheep!
Maple tapping!!
Mostly I like this book because it has sheep and maple tapping. My high editorial standards.
