Everybody has a favorite kind of day: a day of sun, winds, rain or snow. But how can every day please everybody? This was Jupiter's problem and he was king of all the Roman gods. It was also Master Merry-Report's problem. Jupiter had given him a most difficult task: go down to earth, question the people, and discover the one, very best weather.

Here is a weather report filled with wit and wisdom and illustrated with Roger Duvoisin's brilliant drawings in sun-yellow and sky-blue that perfectly capture the spirit of Tudor England.

Adapted from the Play of the Wether by John Heywood, a writer and musician at the court of King Henry VIII, this story was very likely performed before the King in his banquet hall.

Boys and girls who love to dramatize stories will find Days of Sunshine — Days of Rain and exciting play in any weather.
