About the book

B. J. Chute has woven a lyrical and poetic fable of the small country village of Greenwillow, its unforgetable and whimsical inhabitants and of the poignant romance between young Gideon Briggs, haunted by a family curse and determined never to marry, and Dorrie, the orphan girl he love. This timeless story of love and faith became a Broadway musical, with words and music by Frank Loesser.
