Early 1900s Colorado. Fortified with Yankee ingenuity and western energy, the Moody family, transplanted from New England, builds a new ranch life. Father has died and Little Britches shoulders the responsibilities of a man at age eleven. Determined Grace and Mother cooks beans, bread and repair lace curtains while Ralph builds frames and delivers baking.
This brand new hardcover is a facsimile of a 1950s edition. It comes complete with a dust jacket, pictorial hardcover and pictorial endpapers by Algot Stenbery.
As an added bonus, included at the end is a two-page letter written by Marshall Harbinson, the writing instructor who encouraged Moody to put his life story down on paper. You’ll get another perspective of Moody in Harbinson’s letter at a time when he was just becoming well-known to the world.
