Hopscotch Days

Hopscotch Days is a visit to a golden era which readers of that generation will remember from their own experience, and younger readers will find a fascinating glimpse of a vanished time…but not completely vanished. As Beverley Wood shares with us “the way it was,” to be a child growing up in the days between the World Wars, she reminds us that loving families thrive and survive in every era. Like the beautiful quilt her grandmother made for her, Hopscotch Days is a pattern of memories, carefully stitched into this warm and colorful book: Mama, Daddy, brothers and sister, family and friends, and her home, filled with treasures that could be touched, like the speckled shell which always sounded of the sea…and other, intangible treasures— belonging, security, warmth, and love.
