Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Edge of Winter: Wherein May Be Read How Five Boys and Five Girls Ate Their Thanksgiving Dinner at an Old Farm House in the Hudson Highlands

Well, said Jack meditatively, after all, it couldn't have been such bad fun in the old times. Think of seeing a man ducked at the yard-arm! That must have been prime.
