About the Book Ox-Cart Man

Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall is a children’s book that paints a vivid picture of rural life in 19th-century New England. The story follows a farmer who, each October, loads his ox cart with goods produced by his family throughout the year and travels to the market in Portsmouth to sell them.

The farmer’s journey is a testament to the hard work and self-sufficiency of rural families. He sells everything he has brought, including the cart and the ox, and uses the money to buy essential items for the upcoming year, such as a needle, a knife, and wintergreen peppermint candy for his family. The narrative then circles back to the farm, where the cycle of production begins anew with the changing seasons.

The book beautifully captures the rhythm of agrarian life, emphasizing themes of hard work, resourcefulness, and the cyclical nature of the seasons. Illustrated by Barbara Cooney, the book’s artwork complements Hall’s poetic prose, bringing the story to life with detailed and evocative images.

Ox-Cart Man is not just a story about a farmer’s journey; it’s a celebration of the simple, yet profound, joys of rural life and the enduring human spirit.

 

This Page Is Under Construction

It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
