On a day like today who could ever be sorry? Not a thing in the world has the least little worry. There isn't even a need to borrow a moral of hope from any tomorrow. (pages 6-7)

{HISTORY}

Illustrated by award-winning Czechoslovakian illustrator Adolf Zabransky (1909-1981) and written by American author and art historian Monroe Stearns (1913-1987),  Underneath My Apple Tree is a gorgeously presented children's book about the tender beauty of nature. Lyrical, funny, insightful and sweet, the sing-song storytelling and engaging rhymes describe a series of timeless and relatable vignettes that all children will know... the relaxed rhythm of a summer's day, the flutter of a butterfly, the sight of city pigeons taking flight, the constant movement of a mountain stream, the sounds of crows in winter.  Accompanying each page are Adolf's colorful drawings which delight all ages. Published in the 1960s, this is an ex-library book that contains the original dust jacket (un-price clipped) and decorated endpapers.
