Phineas and his Cousins completes the journey of the author's Quaker ancestors from Cheshire, England, to Minnesota, in the Midwest of the US, spanning almost 300 years of history.
It is about real stools and chairs, including 'Walnut Chairs' and a 'George Fox Chair', while resting gently on the surface of Quaker history proper. It explores the evidence behind some local Quaker furniture legends.
