Gingerbread for Liberty! How a German Baker Helped Win the American Revolution
Mara Rockliff, illustrated by Vincent X. Kirsch
ISBN: 9780544130012
Gingerbread-iced cut-out illustrations liven up this adorable story of a very generous baker.
This is an adorable biographical story of Christopher Ludwick, who immigrated to America in the early days of the colonies, and baked for the armies, and persuaded the invading German Hessian troops that they really ought to be on the American side of the conflict.
Fascinating history, and a truly well-told tale of a wonderful life of service to his adopted country.
