THE SUGARBUSH FAMILY

by Miriam E. Mason ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 28, 1954

A happy family story, as the harried Kings, ""the sugarbush family"", have ordinary to fantastic episodes recorded in the author's familiar homey style (see her Broomtail, Herman the Brave Pig, etc.). Things begin to happen when Uncle Horace, along with a family of cats he can't leave behind, goes north to hunt gold. At home, a cold stranger settles nearby, but ultimately turns out to be a friend in need, when he thwarts a run of bulls on the sugar pots. Of course Horace returns with the gold (and the cats had proved their worth) -- and they all come to the realization that the best gold is the gold of the heart. Zhenya Gay's drawings add to the family-cum-fun-flavour and offset a bit of the excess maple syrup.
