The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes » (70th Anniversary Edition)

Du Bose Heyward (1885-1940) was the author of several books, including the critically acclaimed novel Porgy, which was the basis for Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.

Marjorie Flack (1897-1958) was an author and illustrator of many children's books, including The Story About Ping and The Boats on the River, which received a Caldecott Honor in 1947.

To celebrate the seventieth anniversary of The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes a special gift edition has been created. The gift set includes a golden shoes charm—perfect for anyone who hopes to be wise, kind, and brave! This beloved tale of a mother bunny who dreams of being one of the official Easter Bunnies but must first prove herself to old Granfather Bunny, has won the hearts of generations and continues to appear on our best-seller list every Easter.

"It is difficult to believe that this very modern feminist tale was originally written in 1939. A gem of a fantasy in which kindness and cleverness win out over size and brawn."
