Time of Wonder. Written and illustrated by Robert McClosky.
Published by The Viking Press, New York in 1966. A Sixth printing.
'In simple rhythmic prose the author-artist tells of a Maine island that is his home. His cadence is a strong, straightforward beat which changes to a joyous, almost sea-chantey lilt for the lifting of fog above sparkling blue water, or the braving of a hurricane. You read, and suddenly you too are singing, because the book has everything that children and grownups love about the sea, the shore and the quiet forests beyond.
