Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Believing Years
The clock pointed to the hour of three. Exactly sixty minutes separated us from vacation. It was the day of our dreams, - the last day of school.
We had thought of it, thought of it far back When snow still covered the ground; planned for it, lived in hope of it. TO morrow the tyrannical bell Should besilent, and no one could say: Time to start for school 1 Many forces had been at work hurry ing this day forward: the first blades Of grass, the first leaves on the horse-chest nut trees, the first robin who ran across the grass-plots overlooking the frog pond, the first dandelion that gleamed in the grass. All were Signs and symbols Of it.
