The Forest Family

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Mark Lang. A woodcutter and his family live an idyllic life deep in a peaceful forest, but things change when he goes off to war, then returns, broken and bitter. Clearly a storyteller's storyteller, Bodger weaves together bits and pieces throughout the novel that will be easily recognizable to folklore aficionados. Notes document sources at the back, and occasional woodcuts add to the overall elegance of this slender book.
