About this book
Across the Fruited Plain is a book by Florence Crannell Means. The dedication is to a whole troop of children across the fruited plain, among them Tomoko, Willie May and Fei-Kin. The contents list names, among others, The House Of Beecham, The Cranberry Bog and Shucking Oysters.
One scene has Grandma call "Oh, Rose-Ellen!" and has Rose-Ellen put down her library book and skip into the kitchen. Cissy is described as beautiful, like Grandma's old cameo done in color, with heavy, loose curls of gold-brown hair. Cissy says their house was log, with a fireplace where Maw had her kettles. Rose-Ellen tries to change the subject by saying "Apples!" and that she loves oranges and ripe figs.
