Description
A lyrical journey through the changing seasons in rural New England begins with the daily routine of an oxcart man. He packs his goods - wool from his sheep, handmade shawls, knitted mittens, and linen woven by his family - and travels over hills, through valleys, by streams to sell them at Portsmouth Market. As he sells each item, one by one, including even his beloved ox, the cycle of life repeats itself. With pockets full of coins, he buys provisions for his family and returns home, ready to begin again. The stunning combination of text and illustrations recreates the mood of 19th-century rural New England, evoking a sense of time and place. This beautifully illustrated picture book is a poignant portrayal of rural life, where the rhythms of nature and the hard work of everyday people are woven together in a timeless tapestry.
