The Topaz Story Book: Stories and Legends of Autumn, Hallowe'en, and Thanksgiving
Ada Maria Skinner
When the maples turn, the storytellers begin. Skinner's topaz treasury gathers autumn, Hallowe'en, and Thanksgiving lore: Nipon and the King of the Northland, Prince Autumn, the Scarf of the Lady, Jack Frost, and legends for every gold and amber week of fall. A seasonal read-aloud companion families return to yearly. Rake up a pile and dive in. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
