Martha B. Rabbit knows a long cold winter is coming, so she and Tabitha Cat make sure they are properly prepared. And when winter sets in, new friends come to visit, and seek shelter in their warm home. It's a winter they'll always remember. The enchanting tale recaptures a delightful bygone era of magical characters, gentle story-telling and lovingly crafted illustrations.
