Quakers

"Thee, Hannah!" scold Mother, Grammy Welsh, and sister Sally as Hannah struggles to grow up as a good Quaker girl in Philadelphia just before the Civil War. It seems that nine-year-old Hannah is always getting into scrapes. She doesn't want to listen to "old Spotty," but it's so hard to wear a plain bonnet that pinches her ears, and a plain dress with no lace! Hannah yearns for the flowered bonnets ad hoop skirts her friend Cecily wears, and often sneaks away to "dress up."

Catch a glimpse of Quaker life as Hannah and her family go to Meeting and to market, host a gathering of Friends, enjoy ice skating and other pastimes. Join Hannah as she helps bring an escaped slave woman and her sick son to safety. Will Hannah ever understand the value of plain dress, and learn to be contented as a Friend? Find out in the picture storybook for young readers.

December 13 1880—I was busy milking the goat while my grandfather was lighting the fire. Suddenly, she picked up her ears, as if she heard some extraordinary noise, and then began to tremble all over. I observed this at once, addressing myself to her: What is the matter, poor Blanchette:" I said, caressing her. Immediately we heard the most dreadful howlings, as it were over our heads. "Wolves!" I exclaimed…"They are digging through the snow," I cried, clasping my grandfather in my arms. "They will get in and devour us."

Also included are the stories The Brave Little Quakeress and Babes In A Basket.
