Synopsis
What was it like to live long ago? What did children do? Were they like me? These are things that all children wonder about. Lessie Jones Little answers these questions with memories of her own rural childhood in the 1900s. In CHILDREN OF LONG AGO her recollections of making paper dolls are interspersed with trips to Sunday school and learning about your new baby sister in this beautiful collection of warm-hearted poems. In a loving introduction, Eloise Greenfield pays tribute to her mother's timeless creativity.
