Down Down the Mountain
Illustrated by Credle, Ellis
Hetty and her brother Hank wanted creaky, squeaky shoes. High in the Blue Ridge Mountains where they lived there were no shoes of this kind, nor did Hank and Hetty have any money. They did have some turnip seeds and these they planted and tended until they had the fattest, juiciest turnips in all that region. They set out to town to sell them. Hetty and Hank’s adventures along the way to town and in town, their return home and the things they brought back with them, make a delightful story for all young children.
