LITERATURE
Lewis, J. Patrick

The House

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Roberto Innocenti. Through richly detailed paintings, the story unfolds of a cottage built in 1656. The book progresses through the twentieth century, and Lewis's poetry provides a general history of the times, both World Wars, and the technological and economic changes. There's no contextual insight; adult intervention will likely be required to help readers decipher events shown in the intriguing pictures.
