It Was Quite A Romp.So Begins Mildred Kalishs Story Of Growing Up On Her Grandparents Iowa Farm During The Depths Of The Great Depression.

This, However, Is Not A Tale Of Suffering.Kalish Counts Herself Among The Lucky Of That Era. She Had Caring Grandparents Who Possessedand Valiantly Tried To Imposeall The Pioneer Virtues Of Their Forebears, Teachers Who Inspired And Befriended Her, And A Barnyard Full Of Animals Ready To Be Tamed And Loved. She And Her Siblings And Their Cousins From The Farm Across The Way Played As Hard As They Worked, Running Barefoot Through The Fields, As Free And Wild As They Dared.Filled With Recipes And Howtos For Everything From Catching And Skinning A Rabbit To Preparing Homemade Skin And Hair Beautifiers, Apple Cream Pie, And The Worlds Best Head Cheese (Start By Scrubbing The Head Of The Pig Until It Is Pink And Clean), Little Heathens Portrays A World Of Hardship And Hard Work Tempered By Simple Rewards. There Was The Unsurpassed Flavor Of Tender New Dandelion Greens Harvested As Soon As The Snow Melted; The Taste Of Crystal Clear Marblesized Balls Of Honey Robbed From A Bumblebee Nest; The Sweet Smell From The Body Of A Lamb Sleeping On Sunwarmed Grass; And The Magical Quality Of Oat Shocking Under The Light Of A Full Harvest Moon.Little Heathens Offers A Loving But Realistic Portrait Of A Heartyhandshake Methodist Family That Gave Its Members A Remarkable Legacy Of Kinship, Kindness, And Remembered Pleasures.
