JEANNE BIRDSALL is the National Book Award-winning author of the
children's book The Penderwicks and its four sequels, all of which
were New York Times bestsellers. Before The Penderwicks, she had
many strange jobs to support herself while working hard as a
photographer. Birdsall's photographs are included in the permanent
collections of museums, including the Smithsonian and the
Philadelphia Art Museum--and she shot the photos for this book. She
lives with her husband in Northampton, Massachusetts. Their house
is old and comfortable, full of unruly animals, and surrounded by
gardens.
JANE DYER is the beloved illustrator of more than fifty picture
books, including the New York Times bestselling Cookies series by
Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Time for Bed and Roly Poly by Mem Fox, and I
Love You Like Crazycakes by Rose Lewis, in addition to numerous
other award winners. She currently lives in Northampton, MA, where
she and Jeanne Birdsall are neighbors.
“A slice of whimsy with a scoop of jam-errific fun on top…Quaint in
scope, tremendous in flair.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"There are charming little accent illustrations scattered
throughout the text, and textures sometimes spill out of photos and
onto the page. Readers will be delighted to make the trip to
Trelfdom through this immersive, merry tale.” —Booklist
