Review by G. W. Jackson:
This book was given to me as a gift years ago. I have read through it several times and
dreamed of doing the things the book depicts. It paints a vivid picture of the things boys
were doing over a hundred years ago now. The author keeps us going with his anecdotes and
descriptive plans for everything from fighting frog kites to tiny hot air balloons to a pig
sculpted from snow. In a world that is so fast paced and high tech, this offers a glimpse
into the way of life of the average country boy who didn't have a care in the world. Read
the book!
Review by Ada Kerman:
Instructions for making a number of things, such as kites, fishing poles,
and costumes; how to raise a dog, stuff animals, go camping, and so on.
