Downright Dencey

A Newbery Honor Book From 1927

BY CAROLINE DALE-SNEDEKER
This treasure of a novel is set on the island of Nantucket just before the War of 1812. Much more than a tale of whaling ships and gentle Quaker eccentricities, it is a tale of friendship--the kind most truly espoused by Friends, with all the struggle and complexity one should expect. Dency is a mystery to her mother, whose stern exterior hides a heart that breaks every time her husband Captain Tom goes to sea. Within a context of outward simplicity of living and inward intricacy of relationship, Dencey matures from the little girl who, in un-Quakerly violence of temper, throws a rock at the town outcast. She becomes a young woman ready to bear her part in life with grace and courage.
