Illustrated by SHED, GREG Color pictures. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 8x11"oblong VERY GOOD CONDITION IN VERY GOOD UNCLIPT(S17.95) DUST JACKET; Dust Jacket duplicates hard cover art. Old milk wagon & brown horse overlooking small village......; np 40? pg thin pages; New England. (BUSTERVILLE...GRAVES FAMILY DAIRY..). Family lore & intimate reflection on rural lifestles. back to a slower time and celebrating farm and family. Before pasteurization, when milk was delivered directly to doorsteps via horse and wagon, young Paul observes his father and brothers at work--the work of holding on to traditional values in the face of modernization, as well as the physical work of carrying milk and capping bottles. When the youngest, Elzira, contracts undulant fever (but not from their raw milk), Paul's father decides to get a pasteurizing machine, balancing continuity and change. Shed's sleepy, light-dappled paintings freeze in time a series of moments in one family's history.
