Industry Reviews
'This reissue . . . is more than justified by Manson's gorgeous coloured woodcut illustrations, which conjure everything that was solid and charming about 19th-century New England life.' New York Times Book Review

'Recalling a simpler time, this book capture's the poem's sense of excitement and celebration. Readers who join the family en route to Grandfather's house will observe many details about life in the 19th century . . . Manson woodcuts, painted in the colours of a snowy evening, lovingly depict the wintry countryside.' School Library Journal
