Most of these pleasant pieces appeared originally in various American newspapers and magazines. - Summary by Tom Penn (8 hr 27 min)

Fantastic

(5 Sterne)

Really wonderful snippets of life, and a brilliant reader. There is nothing like a contemporaneous source to give a very specific picture of what life used to be like. Highly recommended. I cannot wait to listen to it all again

Great stories!

The reader is excellent and the stories are little gems!
