2nd Book By
Edith Brecht
Is Published
The Viking Press will pub­lish
Edith Brecht’s second
nook, “Timothy’s Hawk,” on
August 30. The book is of
special interest to children be­tween
the ages of eight and
twelve and is 78 pages long.
Edith Brecht is a native
Pennsylvanian, born in Lan­caster
County. She is the
daughter of the late Milton
J. Brecht, a leader in rural
public education. Miss Brecht
has lived in the Conestoga
Valley in Churchtown for a
number of years. She has had
stories published in the Unit­ed
States, Canada, and Europe.
Her first book for young peo­ple,
“Ada and the Wild
Duck,” was lauded by the
critics.
In “Timothy’s Hawk,” Edith
Brecht has pictured a family
without roots, who, at the
start of the story, move into
a dilapidated tenant house on
an abandoned farm. Nine-year-
old Timothy is appre­hensive
Of his new surround­ings
and just a little frigh­tened
of what the future holds.
But soon, through the warmth
of his new friends, he de­velops
a real enthusiasm for
farm life and feels a sense
of contentment and stability
he has never known before.
It is a story that is both wise
and entertaining, and Char­lotte
Erickson’s beautiful
drawings have the true feel­ing
of the Pennsylvania coun­tryside.
