This book is written to try to make people aware of the beauty that is around them. I’ve tried to put into words the pleasure I find in New England’s changing seasons. There is nothing like the feeling of coming upon a covered bridge on a country road on a crisp Autumn day in New Hampshire or Vermont. If this book helps you to open the door of your imagination and see in your mind’s-eye what could have taken place in these Tales in Rhyme, you should find pleasure in it. Use your imagination - Follow the Lighthouse Keeper up the sandy road to his home;- see, through the eyes of a child, the parade with General Washington taking command of his troops;- Share the gratitude of Dutch the cat who found refuge from the cruel life of a stray. So, go ahead, - try it - It’s been written to be shared.
