Remember when you were a child - when all the world was new, and the smallest object a thing of wonder? Arleta Richardson remembers: the funny wearable wire contraption hidden in the dusty attic, the century-old schoolchild's slate that belonged to Grandma, an ancient trunk filled with quilt pieces - each with its own special story - and the button basket, a miracle of mysteries. And best of all was the remarkable grandmother who made magic of all she touched, bringing the past alive as only a born storyteller could.
Here are those marvelous tales - faithfully recalled for the delight of young and old alike, a touchstone to another day when life was simpler, perhaps richer; when the treasures of family life and love were passed from generation to generation by a child's questions...and the legends that followed enlarged our faith.

Great value
This would make a lovely gift - it is great value with 4 books included. The stories are excellent for younger children (maybe 5-9) and give lots of lessons and things to think about. Valuable reading for children but they will still love the stories, Grandma's stories are full of fun and mischief! Good, wholesome books and each chapter is a stand alone chapter, making them great for bedtime reading.
