"Warm and real . . . packed with incident, country magic, family lore, and people to remember."The New York Times Book Review
"Vivid descriptions . . . and excellent characterization mark each page of the book."Chicago Tribune

Winner of the 1957 Newbery Award, this novel offers a loving portrait of a family trying to put itself back together when the father returns from a war in a distant land. Written over 45 years ago, Maple Hill is eerily apt for today's young listeners-who will also appreciate the beautifully crafted portrait of a rural world that still exists, but is rapidly vanishing. An all time great.
