Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression
by Mildred Armstrong Kalish
_DIK3700

Published by Bantam Dell, a division of Random House, Inc.

"As a natural-born memoirist (by which I mean not only "one who writes an autobiography" but also "one who remembers everything"), Kalish has kept her memories tidily ordered for decades. Now she has unpacked and worked them into a story that is not only trustworthy and useful (have I mentioned the recipe for homemade marshmallows?) but is also polished by real, rare happiness.

It is a very good book, indeed.

In fact, it is averyveryverygoodbook."
