William loves visiting his cousin Madison in Virginia for the holidays, but since his sister, Eleanor, can't join them he sends her lively letters and VERY unusual gifts for the twelve days of Christmas--like 4 cannon blasts, 3 tall ships, and 2 guiding lights . . .
Even though this says Christmas in the title it is more like a travelogue. Two cousins travel around Virginia visiting some of the most interesting places, collecting a souvenir at every stop to match the lyrics of the song -- 10 puppies chasing (foxhounds at Mount Vernon), five pewter mugs (in Williamsburg), two tall ships (in Jamestown) I am going to give a copy as a holiday gift to my daughter's teacher, too.
