There in the storefront, sat a pumpkin. Not the everyday kind of pumpkin that grew in pa's field, but a glowing pumpkin with a face.
Can't pa spare one of his pumpkins so Hattie can have a jack-o'-lantern of her own? Maybe not. The Pumpkin Man from Piney Creek is on his way, and Pa has promised to sell him one hundred pumpkins.
This glimpse of life in late nineteenth-century rural America will delight those who, year after year, find themselves looking forward to autumn and pumpkin time. And pumpkin lovers of all ages will be happy to find that Ma's Blue-Ribbon pie recipe is included!
