The author is recalling her childhood with grandparents, thus growing up under an 1890s regimen. The cover is not noteworthy, but I found the book more interesting than I expected as I read parts of it on the bus/subway trip. Unfortunately, no one at the old soldiers' home has picked it up in the four weeks I have had it on the shelf.
I especially liked farm food, thrift, country school, May baskets, and wash day.
No index.
I pulled this from the shelf and left it in the VA Hospital lobby this morning. But it did disappear from our shelf for several weeks and so found a reader. And we have few readers in the old soldiers home....
