EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming illustration from 1938, we find Dunderpate and his friend Susan engaged in an enlightening encounter with a local blacksmith. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint rural village, with the sun casting long shadows over the rolling hills and the smoke from the blacksmith's forge curling up into the crisp autumn air. Dunderpate, with his characteristic blank expression and oversized glasses, gazes intently at the blacksmith, who stands proudly before his anvil, hammer in hand. Susan, a bright and inquisitive girl with a ponytail and a dress adorned with flowers, listens attentively as the blacksmith explains the meaning of an old proverb. "What does it mean to not let the grass grow under your feet?" asks Susan, her voice filled with curiosity. The blacksmith, a burly man with calloused hands and a bushy beard, leans in close to share his wisdom. "It means always keeping busy, never wasting time. Working hard, learning new things, and making the most of every day," he explains. Dunderpate, who is known for his love of books and learning, looks dismayed. He had always thought the phrase referred to some sort of magical growth-inhibiting property of the grass. But as he listens to the blacksmith's words, he realizes that there is more to life than just reading and studying. The illustration captures the essence of childhood innocence and the joy of discovery. The friendship between Dunderpate and Susan is a testament to the power of learning from each other and the importance of staying curious and engaged with the world around us. And as the sun sets over the village, casting a warm glow over the scene, it's clear that there is always more to discover, whether it's in the pages of a book or in the world beyond.
