Gentle and non-sensational, and yet somehow completely engrossing at the same time, Lucy's Summer manages to capture the flavor and feeling of one girl's summer, more than one hundred years ago. The many details, captured both in author Donald Hall's narrative and in illustrator Michael McCurdy's artwork, make this tale feel authentic and true, almost like a snapshot of the past. The illustrations, created using a colored scratchboard technique, somewhat reminiscent of 19th-century engraving work I have seen, have an old-fashioned charm that is well-suited to the story. Highly recommended, both to those looking for children's stories set in historical New England/New Hampshire in particular, and to those interested in picture-book historical fiction in general. I myself finished the book wishing that there were more of it - perhaps Hall should write a more extensive, novel-length work about his mother's childhood? I would definitely read it! ( )
