The Crooked Apple Tree

4.3/5 ( ratings)

1929. Meigs, who wrote stories that young people still enjoy decades after she wrote them, is also the winner of the Newbery Medal for her book, Invincible Louisa, the story of the author of Little Women. The book begins: A covey of quail had settled down upon the ridge of high grazing land above Apple Creek. They were busy among the tall weeds and dry leaves, scurrying here and there, scratching in the dry grass and talking to each other in their small voices. Anthony Whipple, who had come hastily up the slope from the direction of the town, saw the quick, shy birds in time, and stopped suddenly in a brush-filled corner of the fence to watch them go about their business, unconscious and undisturbed. He had been playing football, and had thought that he was late in keeping his promise to meet his sister Jane here in Apple Creek pasture; so that he had come hastily and breathlessly up the twisting cow path.
