The book is organized into four parts. It is a journey through time, from the spring apple blossoms in a Vermont pasture to the hot summer sands of Cape Cod, the flaming autumn foliage of the White Mountains, and the warm yellow lights shining from the windows of a white-steepled meetinghouse to cheer the darkness of a snowy night.
And, especially for photography buffs, Arthur Griffin has provided complete notes on how he took each picture, under what conditions, and with what camera settings. Each illustration is also accompanied by a small black and white photograph that leads the reader further into the principal scene.
