About this product
Product Information
A New York Times Best Illustrated Book From highly acclaimed author Jenkins and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Blackall comes a fascinating picture book in which four families, in four different cities, over four centuries, make the same delicious dessert- blackberry fool. This richly detailed book ingeniously shows how food, technology, and even families have changed throughout American history. In 1710, a girl and her mother in Lyme, England, prepare a blackberry fool, picking wild blackberries and beating cream from their cow with a bundle of twigs. The same dessert is prepared by an enslaved girl and her mother in 1810 in Charleston, South Carolina; by a mother and daughter in 1910 in Boston; and finally by a boy and his father in present-day San Diego. Kids and parents alike will delight in discovering the differences in daily life over the course of four centuries. Includes a recipe for blackberry fool and notes from the author and illustrator about their research.

Beyond happy with purchase. Item is superior to how was described. Said was "good" condition when, in reality, it could just about pass for new. It is in perfect condition. The price was extremely reasonable for the book in good condition, unbelievably priced in this condition. Shipping was fast, it arrived before expected. Also impressive was their customer service. A receipt with the email address and a pledge to deal with any concerns was enclosed. In all, an amazing experience!!!
