Descripción

New condition glossy color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes List of Other Books by Louise K. Nelson; Author Dedication; Introduction; and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed (with the sentiment "Best Wishes"), by the author with black pen at the lower section of the title page. "I was inspired to write this book, Country Folklore.and That's the Way It Was, by my family. My mother and my uncle lived until they were in their late 80s and early 90s. My uncle could remember all the ways of country living in the 1920s and 1930s. In reminiscing with them and my family, I tried to capture all these ways of living. I first wrote a book "Country Living With Grandpa" in his own language. My grandparents had no schooling and their language was typical in this era of life. By living with my mother, my siblings, my uncle and my grandparents this book is very real and has touched many people. My grandparents were very poor tenant farmers, but this didn't hinder them from making a good living. They learned to save, preserve and can fruits and vegetables and to make our clothes from feed and flour saks. We learned to cope with life by sharing and loving each other, by doing extra work to have the food and clothes we needed and to be happy. I can't say we were unhappy to live in this time of life because we weren't. This is the way all the farmers lived. After the one-room school closed, we went to better schools and became educated. Then we were ready to move on with the changes of the world, but this didn't stop us from the happy memories of living our early lives in the 1920s and 1930s. So many of you lived this same way and have told me how you enjoyed the writings of early farm life that I've had in the local paper. After countless requests, I have put these in book form so that our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be able to see just how life was as we grew up." - Louise K. Nelson, from the Introduction. N° de ref. del artículo 007970

Descripción de la librería

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
