Description: "Shaker Hearts" - a beautiful hardbound book by Ann Turner and paintings by Wendell Minor. $5.50 ppd Great condition.
The simplicity, hard work, and dedication of Shaker life are conveyed through verse and pictures that trace a day from morning to night: "Morning is a golden face, hands to work, hearts to God, sisters shake the linens out, white as morning snow." Gardening, baking, carpentry, and cleaning fill a day that concludes with dancing. In every verse, Turner repeats words of Shaker founder Ann Lee: "hands to work, hearts to God." Minor's acrylic paintings catch the stillness and cleanliness of the people and their surroundings, and the book design is spacious and crisp in Shakerlike fashion. Opening and closing notes give background information.
