The Farmer in the Dell by Ilse Plume
The timeless circle game 'The Farmer in the Dell' is one of the first that American children learn to play, and its happy, lilting song is among the first they learn to sing. Here the celebrated picture-book artist Ilse Plume has imagined a fresh and very American setting for the lyrics. Ms. Plume's coloured-pencil drawings are inspired by the folk art and decorative motifs of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Included are a musical transcription, lyrics, and directions for playing the game. This book is now available for the first time in softcover.
[Plume] puts an Amish spin on the oft-sung favourite with lovely, old-fashioned, coloured-pencil scenes and border designs inspired by Pennsylvania Dutch motifs and folk art... An elegant tribute to an American classic. - Kirkus Reviews
