Good. the book is in good shape -has been read glued spine is intact the book is a collection of her memories of growing up on the Oxford shire village of Ducklington during the 1920's. I thoroughly enjoyed her descriptions of everyday life in a time otherwise lost to me. Her own words are best - "There was a sense of wonderment about our everyday lives - searching for the first wild flowers of the season - sliding on a frozen pond at night in the crisp, frosty air - the magic of staying with my Grandparents - luscious, country, stuffiness, Christmas smells - homemade jam boiling on an open fire - the magic of firelight and stories at bedtime - brevetting over the fields, wooding and mushrooming - the kindness and good humor of neighbors and friends in those hard-up, happy times - the closeness of a big family in an overcrowded but happy home - our mother's indestructible gaiety and sense of wonderment - some of which, thankfully, rubbed off onto her children. top minor wear to the book from handling...printed in Great Britain by Fletcher and son LTD, Norwich.. 224 pages..Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr (August 1983) ISBN-13: 978-0192813930 -- see pictures maybe this will do it maybe it won't. you'll know by looking at the pictures -Expedited Shipping available-by request/ price adjust-..Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa shipped -United States Post to fulfill your order, Los Angeles I carefully pack your book,hop on my Vespa visit the PO to have it placed in our mail system.. your books wrapped,not co-mingled,you get the copy you were viewing.
