      Caddie Woodlawn is a real adventurer. She'd rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brother's dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors -- neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all. Caddie is brave, and her story is special because it's based on the life and memories of Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn. Her spirit and sense of fun have made this book a classic that readers have taken to their hearts for more than seventy years.

      ""Wolff's stuning linoleum-block prints . . . illustrate this timeless, lilting poem. . . . The art and handsome typography . . . evoke a colonial past, when the children of a village rally at the news that a kindly woman is baking a cake . . . Wolff's research brought her to Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts, where she found the 17th-century recipe for spice cake (containing the ingredients mentioned in the poem) that is reprinted at the close of this engaging book"".--Publishers Weekly, starred review. Full color.

      Andy Buckram's Tin Men
    • Dej sa odohráva v časoch prvých amerických farmárov priekopníkov, prenikajúcich na územia nedotknuté civilizáciou. Caddie je živé, neposedné dievča, namiesto toho, aby sa učilo, ako by sa patrilo na dobre vychovanú mladú dámu, vystrája so svojimi početnými súrodencami. Nerada vyšíva, o to radšej však vymýšľa s bratmi huncútstva. Spriatelí sa s Indiánom Johnom, a vo vážnej chvíli sa ukáže, že nie je len vetroplachom v sukni, ale predovšetkým statočným a obetavým dievčatkom.
