Description:
It´s an endearing story of what it felt to be growing up in the late20s and 30s and gives a splendid idea of whag USA was in those long ago days. The book is nostalgic and at times ver funny. The author has a knack for painting life size pictures of those he lived with in those days.And when he has to, he is so realistic that some portraits may sound cruel. It is a book to enjoy hugely, and even if one didn´t live in the States in those years, you will relivd his own, rewarding boyhood years.
