Chesapeake Bay Goose Music

This highly educational & delightful children's story is set on an inland farm on the Chesapeake Bay. It is fully illustrated, with a five-color cover. A true story, the reader is left feeling refreshed & happy to be alive. Watermen of the Eastern Coast of North America tell the story wherever men & children are gathered. They tell of the great seasonal migrations of the Canada geese that darken the skies for days; tell of the Canada Geese that wear the elegant King's & Queen's markings, markings today that are nearly extinct except for the flocks that pause during their migrations at the old farmhouse of "the gentlewoman". They tell of the Gentlewoman all about what they know. But they know little of the story. The full truth lies far from the Atlantic flyway, at a small inland farm on the Chesapeake Bay. It is a simple story, simple & strangely moving & is told with remarkable tenderness of vision & culture.
