About this title

From the Publisher

To read James Otis' story about the joys and hardships the Pilgrims faced in the New World is to live through the first ten years of the Pilgrims' settlement--through the observant eyes of a young girl.

Mary and the Pilgrims come to an America today's children would not recognize. Desolate and cold, there are no homes, no churches, no stores, no crops, no livestock. How did they build homes in the cold of a New England winter? What did they eat? What did they use to make candles and eating utensils? What about elections, church services, Indians, cooking, new foods? It's all here in fascinating detail.

Mary of Plymouth is a story as instructive as it is appealing. A story sure to awaken your children's curiosity about their country's history.

Recommended for Ages 8-12.
