Speare, Elizabeth George

Illustrated by
Barry Moser.
This edition of the Newbery Award-winning novel is illustrated with twelve watercolor paintings. Moser's portraits do a fine job complementing the text, with one jarring exception: an oddly anachronistic portrait of young Kit and her grandfather on the island of Barbados shows a contemporary-looking child in a sundress and a flowered headband.

Illustrated by
W. T. Mars.
This is a handsome reissue of a superior work of historical fiction. Speare's novel is based on an actual narrative written by a woman taken captive by Abenaki Indians in 1754.
