Mr. Bull and The Amazing Grape tells the story of Mr. Ephraim Wales Bull and his determination to produce a perfect eating grape which he named the "Concord grape." The grape's story is "rooted" in the historic community of Concord, Massachusetts. Mr. Bull, three grape-loving neighborhood children, and a little black dog called BowWow take us on an adventure as they follow the path of the Amazing Grape.
Mr. Bull was a farmer in Concord during the 1800's. He became known in his community as "the father of the Concord grape" after having spent many years cultivating a hardy and delicious blue-black grape that would thrive and survive in the unpredictable New England climate. Mr. Bull's strong work ethic and dedication to this grape won him a gold medal from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in the year 1853 for best production of a seedling grape - the Concord.
Deborah A. Locke, a third generation Concordian, is an illustrator and children's wear designer. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Design from Endicott College. Mr. Bull and The Amazing Grape is her first book.
This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.
