Those crazy Puritans! They indeed moved in #MysteriousWays ...as highlighted by Daniels in this book. Known for their dour countenance and their seemingly lack of fun (have you ever seen a child‘s primer written by a Puritan? It makes Poe‘s works look like a happy day at the beach!), Daniels illustrates how much fun Puritans had. Turns out, they‘re no different from us...#MusicalNewYear
