F. W. Preece & Sons, 1936, black and white reproduction illustrations, black and white reproduction illustrated frontispiece, sturdy boards, dustjacket

Very Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, no inscriptions, minor foxing to a few pages, dustjacket shows a little edge and shelf wear with a little rubbing, bumping and chipping to edges and corners, some marking and staining to front and back, small tears to edges and wrap folds (see photographs)

“These pages represent slices from the experiences of the pioneers – slices cut at two different periods, in a humble effort to show the everyday life of an ordinary family like us, and to contrast it with life to-day.  The historical characters, which must not be identified with any particular individuals, present, rather, a composite picture of the men, women, and children of those days.’
