Henner's Lydia

Henner's Lydia

"Henner's Lydia" (OCLC|193672) is a 1936 children's story book written and illustrated by Marguerite de Angeli, who later won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature for another book, her 1950 "The Door in the Wall". "Henner's Lydia" is a story about a young Amish girl named Lydia Stoltzfus and her "Pop" Henner, or Henry. The story is set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The landscape portrayed in the author's illustrated end papers of the book can be easily discerned the real landscape today, but for the movement of the location of a small stone quarry in the illustration, probably for artistic balance. Many of illustrations in the book were sketched by the author at the site of the [http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=40146077&x=-75948315&z=14&l=0&m=h&v=2 little red schoolhouse] that still stands at the intersection of PA route 23 and Red Schoolhouse Road west of Morgantown, Pennsylvania.
