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.

This is such a beautiful book! It is 'old fashioned' in a good way, just fun and simple stories at an easy reading level for those just starting chapter books. \\n\\nMy modern kid was sceptical at first with the description, she thought it sounded boring and unadventurous. I convinced her to try it and soon she was hooked! She couldn't wait to read each new chapter and ended up loving the book. So I definitely recommend, it will open a new world young readers may not be familiar with but will discover it's not so very different from their own!

Great for kids
This is a lovely book about the 'olden days'. It is made up of a series of stories that Grandma tells, so it is great for bed time reading - each chapter is its own story. My 5 and 7 year old daughters loved the stories and it would be a great book for children of a similar age, maybe up to 9. I can see it appealing more to girls. Gives lots of life lessons while still being great fun.

A humorous beautifully written book
A sweet book about Mabel who finds out stories of her grandma's life as a young girl, triggered by the different patches on a quilt she finds in the attic. A beautifully written book about the joys found in a simple life in those days. On the sonlight curriculum.
