Set against the lush backdrop of rural El Salvador at the turn of
the century, Claudia Lars' richly evocative memoir is a simple, yet
profound tribute to the folklore, customs, and traditions of her
people. It is a lyrical exaltation of her land's beauty, brimming
with warm, vibrant imagery. Born to an Irish-American father and a
Salvadoran mother, Lars takes readers on an enchanting journey that
celebrates her dual heritage and reveals, with innocence and charm,
the gradual self-awareness of a child who, from a very young age,
was endowed with the soul of a poet.
"Land of Childhood" was first published in El Salvador in 1958.
Currently in its seventeenth edition, it is an award-winning book
that has become a beloved national classic as well as required
reading for students in secondary schools and university
classrooms.
