Texas Childhood A Novel Hardcover Book By and 50 similar items

"The universal appeal of childhood bubbles from Evelyn Miller Crowell's delightful and beautifully written sketches like cold water from a spring deep in the woods of the past. They are heartily prescribed as an antidote to the troubled world of today. Here, truly, is a fine contribution to Ameri- cana. The opening sketch of childhood on tip-toe at the threshold of Christmas is a classic." THOMAS L. STOKES, Scripps-Howard staff writer and 1939 Pulitzer Prize Winner. "These memories of a little girl who was born and grew up with the new century in Dallas probably are universal enough in their warm humanity to appeal to readers of varying ages and localities. As a contribution to Dallas history, Mrs. Crowell's book is a must item." SAM ACHESON, author of "35,000 Days in Texas", in The Dallas Morning News. "One of the most charming little books to leave the presses in time for the Christmas sales. It's brimful of the most de- lightful details in the life of a little Texas girl." ROBERT CRAWFORD, Washington Star. "Texas Childhood finds its literary charm in its utter sim- plicity and in the amazing success with which the author edited' her recollections to afford the blessings of brevity without sacrificing cameo-clear details and incidents signif- icant to the recreation of 'Millermore's' atmosphere and his- tory."-GRAYDON HEARTSILL, Dallas Times-Herald. "The publication of Texas Childhood during the Dallas Centennial seems to me particularly fitting. I am glad to learn that the manuscript and first copy are being presented to the Dallas Historical Society for their Library. There have been too few books of happy recollections in recent years, the modern writer apparently considering that unless he was starved and beaten he had nothing to report. Mark Twain thought otherwise."-WOODALL RODGERS, Mayor of Dallas.
