Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Leonard Everett Fisher's The Potters.

Gr. 4-6. Since 1997, Benchmark Books has reprinted 19 volumes in Fisher's Colonial Craftsmen series. Originally published by Watts between 1964 and 1976 as the Colonial Americans series, these well-designed books have served generations of students looking for introductory material on occupations in colonial America. Hatters provides the history and the how-to details of the hat trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, while Potters explains the development of the stoneware craft during the same period. Fisher's striking black-and-white illustrations are more attractive and effective than most full-color pictures in today's nonfiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent explanation of a colonial trade., October 21, 2007
By J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The hatters (Colonial American craftsmen)
Leonard Everett Fischer wrote and illustrated this volume bringing to life history of the hat-making trade in colonial times.

In 1731, England passed a law banning the exporting of any hats to Great Britain, because they were just too popular with British customers. There was a great demand for hats, and some men had large collections of headwear. Headgear was popular with the ladies as well This popularity, of course, infuriated British hatters. Would you be surprised to know that the colonial hatters ignored the law?

The Hatters presents a complete understanding of the trade, with a glossary for review. It is a wonderful addition to the young reader's sense of life in the colonies.
