Description
In 1750 in Pennsylvania, mischievous young Eli, recently arrived with his Mennonite family from Germany, tries to adjust to his new life and especially to the teaching methods of his schoolteacher, Christopher Dock.
A mere hundred years ago the Plymouth Colony was founded. Eli's family has left Germany and come to America to enjoy the religious freedom that is here. Having recently converted, they intend to join a small community of "plain" people -Mennonites- on the Skippack Creek, north-west of Philadelphia.
