The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
It was May Day eve. On the little island of Monhegan the settlers were busy preparing for tomorrow's celebration. There, in the Maine wilderness, they would hang May baskets and dance around the Maypole just as they had at home in England.
Susan Lull stared gloomily at her baskets. She had filled four with Mayflowers and maple sugar; they were for her cousins Anne and Tubby and Tubby's guests from the Plymouth and Virginia colonies. But one basket was still empty; it was for her Indian friend Samoset. If only she could think of something special for him!
Then Susan watched Samoset playing with her kitten at the May Day feast, and she knew what the chief would really like in his May basket. But how could she give him little Tom?
In this story of a traditional English May Day, set against the background of the little- known Maine settlements, Wilma Pitchford Hays once again presents a fresh and exciting slant on America's past.
