verity83Book 10: Mr Revere and I by Robert Lawson, 152 pp
This was a nice evening's read. I've always enjoyed Robert Lawson's quirkiness and sense of humour, both in his writing and illustrations. I can't say this is my favourite of his books that I've read, but it was a fresh way (for me, at least) to look at the Revolutionary War and understand a little better the emotions and attitudes and incidents that led up to the war and experience, after a fashion, the exhilaration of being free.
It's not an era I've done a lot of reading on. Anyone have any recommendations of Revolutionary War era stories that are good?
