Publisher's Synopsis
A book—for children and adults alike—of the remembrances of Richard Quinney growing up on the family farm in southeastern Wisconsin in the 1930s and 1940s. Charming color drawings illustrate the recollections of attending a one-room school, working in the fields, haying on summer days, threshing, going to school on winter days in the bobsleigh drawn by horses, milking the cows in the barn, ice skating and sledding down hill, and waiting for the mailman to bring news from other places. The book is dedicated to Quinney's brother, Ralph, his companion of those early years on the farm.
