Whether your Thanksgiving is more sweatpants on the couch or turkey with all the trimmings, everyone loves a good tradition. From competitive yearly football matches (hello, Monica and Ross) to family arguments (again, hello, Monica and Ross) to repeating movies - or books. Louisa May Alcott’s "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" is like a warming cup of cocoa for the soul. In this holiday treat we follow a family preparing for their own Thanksgiving. There is of course, drama, spirited arguments and narrowly missed arguments, but at the end of it all a spectacular turkey with all the trimmings is ready and waiting. A heartwarming treat to get you into the holiday spirit. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) discovered writing at an early age, where she often thought up stories about villains, ghosts, or damsels in distress. Driven by economic misfortunes, she worked several jobs but later chose writing as her sole purpose. She was a devout feminist and did not marry throughout her life. Her most famous works include the novel "Little Women", its sequel "Little Men", as well as "Good Wives" and "An Old-Fashioned Girl". Her masterpiece "Little Women" was made into a highly successful 2019 movie starring Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet.
Follows the activities of seven children in nineteenth-century New England as they prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday while Mother is away caring for Grandmother.
“When Mrs. Bassett learns that her mother has taken ill, Farmer Bassett escorts his wife on the long drive and, with the best of intentions, the older children set about making the holiday meal….. Conveys the warmth and love of a shared holiday event..” -Publishers Weekly “This is how Thanksgiving should be remembered. A soft snow cover, a feast of turkey and a happy, healthy family are all the ingredients for this festive, thankful, homespun holiday…. It is the early to mid 1800s in New Hampshire and Mrs. Bassett is preparing her family's Thanksgiving meal, but is interrupted by someone " . . . comin' up the hill lively!" with news of her mother being very ill. Immediately Farmer Bassett and his wife leave to be with her, leaving the six children home to prepare the meal. Though none have ever cooked before—how difficult could it be? Their mother made meals so easily. When Pa arrives later with Ma, Grandma, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Mose and their children, all is well. (Grandma's illness was just a misunderstanding.) Was the children's first attempt preparing Thanksgiving memorable? You be the judge and make plans to weave this nostalgic story into your holiday traditions..” -Children's Literature “A classic holiday story…. This is a simple, old-fashioned look at family togetherness during the holiday.” -School Library Journal “Wholesome, timely story.” -Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Written by Louisa May Alcott, this volume includes recipes, decoration ideas for Thanksgiving and a history of the holiday.
"Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag - An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" from Louisa May Alcott. American novelist (1832-1888).
Excerpt from Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag: An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving, Etc A white-headed baby lay in the Old blue cradle that had rocked seven other babies, now and then lifting his head to look out, like a round, full moon, then subsided to kick and crow contentedly, and suck the rosy apple he had no teeth to bite. Two small boys sat on the wooden settle shelling corn for pop ping, and picking out the biggest nuts from the goodly store their own hands had gathered in October. Four young girls stood at the long dresser, busily chopping meat, pounding Spice, and slicing apples; and the tongues of Tilly, Prue, Roxy, and Rhody went as fast as their hands. Farmer Bassett, and Eph, the Oldest boy, were chorin' 'round outside, for Thanksgiving was at hand, and all must be in order for that time - honored day. TO and fro, from table to hearth, bustled buxom Mrs. Bassett, flushed and floury, but busy and blithe as the queen bee of this busy little hive should be.
