On the Mayflower by Kate Waters, Russ Kendall (Illustrator)
A chapter book reader that portrays a historically accurate,
fictionalized account of the Mayflower's passage to America. Through
the characters of William Small, the apprentice to the master of the
ship, and Ellen Moore, an eight-year-old passenger, readers can follow
the journey from two different perspectives. The text is based on historical
documents. At the end of the book, the author explains her research;
and distinguishes fact from fiction. Full color photographs were shot
on the Mayflower II.
