Hurry Down to Derry Fair Summary

Hurry Down to Derry Fair by Dori Chaconas

A lyrical celebration of families and the fun of the fair... Billy Brown is in a hurry. The fair is starting now. Why won't everyone hurry up too? Well, there are pies to be baked, wood to be chopped and animals to be brushed - to show and to sell at the fair. Only Grandma is ready to go. But as Grandma and Billy set off, suddenly everyone else is in a hurry - to see the fair with Billy Brown!
