[ 책 소개 ]
Newbery 수상작가인 Katherine Paterson(글)과 Caldecott 수상작가인 Susan Jeffers(그림)가 힘을 합쳐 만든 아름답고 재미있는 그림책입니다. Katherine Paterson의 남편인 John Paterson이 어릴 적에 실제로 겪었던 이야기를 바탕으로 만들었습니다.
제 2차 세계 대전이 한창일 때, 네델란드의 여왕이 나찌 독일에 의해 추방이 되어서 미국 동부의 메사츄세츠 지역에서 잠시 살게 되었습니다. 여왕이 머무는 저택 근처에 사는 윌리엄은 멋진 갑옷을 입은 기사가 되어 하얀 말을 타고 전쟁을 일으킨 나쁜 사람들을 물리치는 꿈을 꿉니다만, 나이가 어리기 때문에 실제 전쟁터에는 갈 수가 없었죠. 그런 윌리엄에게 여왕이 이웃으로 이사왔다는 소식은 새로운 꿈을 갖게 해줬습니다. 항상 꿈 속에서만 알현하던 여왕을 실제로 만나서 여왕이 겪고 있는 고통과 슬픔을 위로해 주고 싶었죠. 윌리엄은 밭에서 자란 잘익을 블루베리를 바구니에 가득 담아서 무작정 여왕이 사는 곳으로 갔습니다. 여왕의 저택을 지키는 군인에게 허락을 받아서 저택 안으로 들어 가서 요리사에게 블루베리를 주려고 할 때, 어떤 젊은 부인이 나타나서 블루 베리를 가져온 윌리엄을 만나게 되고, 그 부인은 윌리엄을 여왕에게 안내를 해 줬습니다. 그 부인은 바로 여왕의 딸인 공주였고 그 저택에는 여왕과 딸과 손녀가 함께 살고 있었습니다. 윌리엄은 여왕이 멋진 드레스를 입고 번쩍이는 왕관을 쓰고 있을 것으로 상상했습니다만, 커다란 거실의 옥좌에 앉아 있는 여왕은 자상한 할머니였습니다. 여왕은 윌리엄의 친절에 큰 감동을 받고, 요리사에게 블루베리차를 만들라고 지시를 내렸죠. 기사가 되어 전쟁터에 나가 적들을 물리치고 싶었던 윌리엄은, 전쟁 대신에 여왕의 마음을 달래주는 평화의 임무를 멋지게 완수했지요...
잔잔한 감동을 주는 이야기이며, Susan Jeffers의 그림은 놀라움을 안겨줄 정도로 멋진 예술작품입니다.

Book Description
In the summer of 1942, when Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands lives down the road from his family's house in Massachusetts, young William decides to take her some of the blueberries he has picked. Includes historical notes.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
It's summertime in New England during World War II, and a boy named William likes to imagine at bedtime that he is a brave knight fighting great battles to end the war. But in the morning he is always just William again, not big enough to contribute to the war effort like the rest of his family.
Then a real queen moves in just down the road: Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. William's parents explain that the queen has been forced out of her country because of the war. Now William has his chance to do something. It may not be "war work" - it's more like peace work - but that makes all the difference.
Susan Jeffers's dramatic illustrations portray the compelling contrast between William's imagination and the real events in the story, which are based on an actual incident in John Patterson's childhood. Visually stunning, with an evocative, poignant telling, this is the pictur| 닫기x |  What is | 닫기x | What is e-book?

Publishers Weekly
John and Katherine Paterson, who previously collaborated on Consider the Lilies, and Jeffers (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening) offer a sweet, fictionalized account of an episode from John Paterson's childhood. William, who lives in the Massachusetts countryside, is still young enough to imagine that knights and magic wands might help defeat Hitler. Then William learns that Queen Wilhelmina and her family, who "had to leave the Netherlands because of the war," have taken up residence nearby. He wonders endlessly about her ("Did she always wear her crown? Or did she have to go about in disguise so her enemies wouldn't know who she was?"), and he envisions himself as a pint-size knight in her service. He asks his father eagerly if picking blueberries is war work. "No," his father replies kindly, "I think it's more like peace work." But William triumphs when a gift of hand-picked blueberries earns him a reception with the Queen. "It will make your mouth rejoice," William tells her, and she agrees. Jeffers switches deftly between William's daydreams and real experiences. As William is about to meet Wilhelmina, a double-page boxed spread imagines her on a throne in splendid raiment, her hand on a pet jaguar. The next page reveals the truth: she's a grandma, with sensible shoes and a black cat, yet just enough details remain the same to tie the scenes together. Only the hardest-hearted will fail to be moved by this skillful presentation of a timeless theme.
School Library Journal
It's 1942 and William's mom has just confirmed that a real queen has moved into an estate near their New England farm. Much to his older brother's amusement, William imagines the woman doing her errands in cape and gown. He also frets over his inability to contribute anything to the war effort, so when Dad suggests that picking blueberries is equally important as "peace work," William decides to try and chase some of the queen's worries away by presenting her with a basket of his most impressive berries. A kind lady (Princess Juliana of the Netherlands) invites him into the house and agrees that he should meet the queen. The grandmotherly woman (Queen Wilhelmina) is not what William expected, but he is delighted with the gracious reception he receives and returns home bursting with excitement. Based on John Paterson's actual experience (described in a historical note), this lengthy picture book draws a rather romanticized vision of farm life in the '40s and presents a hopeful story that mitigates the despairing events of the times. The banter between William and his supercilious older brother rings a bit more true than Dad's homespun philosophizing, but the innocence and naivet of the place and time shine through. Jeffers's watercolor-and-ink illustrations perfectly juxtapose scenes of domestic reality with the boy's wistful daydreams of knights and heroic quests. Pair this earnest tale with Shulamith Levey Oppenheim's The Lily Cupboard (HarperTrophy, 1995) as they both share the same time period and rural locale, but are two fascinatingly diverse experiences set on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
Kirkus Reviews
This charming tale is based on an incident that happened to the young John Paterson during the summer of 1942, when Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, her daughter, and two granddaughters spent the summer near Lee, Massachusetts. Young William, frustrated that he's "too young to do anything to help win the war," imagines himself as a knight fighting dragons. He longs to see the queen, and visualizes her in a crown and red ermine-trimmed robes. William decides that the delicious blueberries he picks on the family farm might comfort her. Escaping his jeering older brother, he delivers the berries, and even manages to see the queen, who is "disguised like a grandma, but anyone would know she was a real queen." The gouache paintings with ink cross-hatching recall old-fashioned color-separated illustrations. They beautifully juxtapose the magnificent horses, fire-breathing dragon, and royal robes of William's fairytale world with realistic images of cars, planes, and war work-images that will appeal to young readers. |
