The author, Mildred Kalish, begins her story with her growing up in Iowa during the depression on her grandparents farm. It's isn't a depressing story, it filled with tales of a family that gave its members a remarkable legacy of kinship, kindness, and remembered pleasures, and brimming with recipes and how-tos for everything from catching and skinning a rabbit to preparing homemade skin and hair beautifiers, apple cream pie, and the world's best head cheese. Little Heathens portrays a world of hard work tempered by simple rewards and shows how the right stuff can make even the bleakest of times seem like a romp in the park. Soft cover, 5½" X 8¼", 292 pages, black and white photographs. To Order By Phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982
