Here is the perfect gift for Thanksgiving that will delight your friends and family. Thanksgiving – The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience by Melanie Kirkpatrick.
The book covers all aspects of Thanksgiving, including:
- Feminist roots (Sarah Josepha Hale, the godmother of the holiday, was an abolitionist and a feminist who championed the egalitarian values to which we still aspire…she’s also the author of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”!)
- Recipes that have survived the test of time (and are still delicious today)
- Top Thanksgiving myths debunked (Puritans didn’t really wear those drab clothes and stupid hats!)
- Fantastic poetry and literature connected to the holiday
There’s something for everyone in this amazing little book!
