This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.

1902. Take a journey into America's past through this classic fictional diary of a young boy living near Exeter, New Hampshire in the 1860s. Soda water at the corner store, fighting in the schoolyard, making hayseed cigars, getting lickings from his father and other everyday experiences create a unique window into the realities of life in 19th century New England. Written with the unguarded honesty of an eleven-year-old, this fiction rings with a truth that only children and master storytellers can craft. The book propelled Henry Shute to national prominence.

1920. Take a journey into America's past through this classic fictional diary. The book begins: Sunday, March 10, 191-, Heard a bluebird today. In spite of my great age (I am on the sunny side of sixty) the note of the bluebird always awakens a thrill that carries me back to my boyhood. One is sure to hear a bluebird several times before one sees it, and this year was no exception. I heard the musical warble as I came up through the bulkhead from the furnace room with a hod of ashes. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
