Lydia was quiet and full of imagination, Jean was adventurous yet bossy, but together with their baby brother Mark, Father, and Cousin Mary, they made just the right sort of family. They loved doing things together, and in these stories that run through all the months of the year, they have old-fashioned fun together in New England during the 1940s.<\/p>\n

On a wintry day in January, they share ice cream cones in a snow cave dug out by Father. February brings a sleigh ride\u2014accompanied by the magical sound of jingling bells, they drive to the country as twilight descends, filling the air with hushed wonder.<\/p>\n

When Father buys a red second-hand car, which the children name the Dragon, they are off on more day trips and adventures. In spring they help a farmer with sugaring\u2014collecting sap from maple trees as the Iroquois did, and on Easter morning this close family watches the sunrise over Nantasket beach. So on through the seasons, til it is winter again and they spend Christmas in a cottage by the sea.<\/p>\n

Illustrated by Marguerite Davis. New cover by Bethie Engstrom.<\/p>\n

We’ve created maps of 1940s Hingham, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas so you can see where Jean and Lydia’s adventures take them.<\/p>\n

What a joy this book is! Each month’s story ends with a lovely poem. Here is June’s poem\u2014after the Dragon takes them to Nantasket beach for a picnic in the rain, the children go for a ride on the merry-go-round.<\/p>\n

The two little girls
\nIn their bright fresh dresses,
\nWith their serious faces
\nAnd their blackberry tresses,<\/p>\n

Are riding painted horses
\nOn an old merry-go-round,
\nCircling, circling, circling,
\nTo a sweet enchanted sound.<\/p>\n

They are sitting in their saddles
\nAs a bird sits in a tree,
\nAnd the way they hold their bridle reins
\nIs romance and chivalry.<\/p>\n

With their eyes upon the distance
\nAnd a light and easy seat,
\nNo one will ever know what joy
\nThe children ride to meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":35203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[683,517],"product_tag":[],"composite_virtual":false,"composite_layout":"","composite_add_to_cart_form_location":"","composite_editable_in_cart":false,"composite_sold_individually_context":"","composite_shop_price_calc":"","composite_components":[],"composite_scenarios":[],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"outofstock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\nTwelve Months Make a Year - Classical Education Books<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/twelve-months-make-a-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Twelve Months Make a Year - Classical Education Books\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lydia was quiet and full of imagination, Jean was adventurous yet bossy, but together with their baby brother Mark, Father, and Cousin Mary, they made just the right sort of family.
