Ten-year-old Andries, newly orphaned, comes to join his bachelor uncle, Pieter Verbeek, in a large, but silent and unhappy house. Across the way sits a cottage, overflowing with the lively Dykstra family. While Father Dykstra works as a wooden-shoe maker, Mother Dykstra oversees the household of four children, practical Helga, dreamy Miebeth, irrepressible Kobus, and baby Treeske. The newly arrived boy rouses the older girls’ curiosity, but Mr Verbeek’s large dog is a strong deterrent to friendly advances. When Andries vents his loneliness in mischief, the cook, and soon the whole village, is scandalized. Then, through the antics of the very dog that frightens the girls, Andries begins to make the acquaintance of the warm-hearted Dykstras. Adventures unfold as Andries’ energetic and creative bent finds new inspirations. Hilda van Stockum is at her best and most humorous in the dialogues which emerge from friendship and family’s many viewpoints.Andries

A young boy takes a trip on his own to visit his grandparents in Kentucky in this luminous entry in the acclaimed Port William series. In this “eloquent distillation of Berry’s favorite themes: the importance of family, community and respect for the land” (Kirkus Reviews), nine-year-old Andy Catlett embarks on a solo trip by bus to visit his grandparents in Port William, Kentucky, during the Christmas of 1943. Full of “nostalgic, admiring detail” (Publishers Weekly), Andy observes the modern world crowding out the old ways, and the people he encounters become touchstones for his understanding of a precious and imperiled world. This beautiful, short memoir-like novel is a perfect introduction to Wendell Berry’s rich and ever-evolving saga of the Port William Membership, filled with images “as though describing a painting by Edward Hopper” (New York Times).Andy Catlett
