This autumnal volume of The Seasons follows young Willy and his mother through a variety of seasonal experiences. Curious and full of wonder, Willy questions his mother about each new thing he encounters. Throughout this book, she teaches him many valuable lessons. He learns about the harvest of grains, how windmills work, how steam-boats run, how trees grow and leaves fall, how shadows are cast, and how money is made from metals found deep within the earth.
