mirror all at once. When he has recovered from the shock, he goes
to inspect the still-smoking mirror frame and sees his scared
reflection in the glass. Only there is something not quite right
about the boy in the mirror...
This book is simply a collection of childhood memories, all
carefully gleaned from family and friends, from all walks of life,
and as wide a circle as possible. All stories are true, insofar as
memory permits. All contributors are real and were born in the 20th
century. Their ages range from 16 to 87 at the time of telling.
Years of birth range from 1906 to 1990. All have been cajoled,
prompted, and edited by me. In some cases, where I received verbal
recall, I have edited out most of the strong language. In others,
where such expression is relatively mild, I have left it in, so as
to keep the natural voice of the storyteller. This is not a
childrens book, although older children might find it enlightening
to learn about the childhood of their parents and grandparents and
even great-grandparents in the ages before mobile phones and
computers.
An easy guide to astrological traits and qualities of all 12 zodiac
signs in alphabetical order; also including relevant illustrations
and verses.
