Mary Lynn Henderson Nichols learned that her young cousin, Shannon, was going to spend the summer with her grandmother. This inspired Mary Lynn to write down memories of summers spent with her own grandparents 30 years earlier and send them in the form of a letter to her cousin, with illustrations that are faithfully reproduced for you here.You will find that, although the inventions and conveniences of life have changed much since the 1940s, the joy and adventures of childhood and the love between children and their grandparents, thankfully haven't changed much at all. |
