Childrens Historical Books by Mary Ellen Lee

Description

My mother read to my brother and me every evening and as a child I always received books for Christmas and birthdays. Some of these like My Friend Flicka, Smoky the Cow Horse, and Kidnaped are still on my shelves to be enjoyed now and then. The joy of reading was give to me by my mother and I will ever be grateful. In my adult life I read biography and history.

A bookworm I wasn't; a tom boy is a better name for me. My family lived in the country for most of my childhood and I played with my brother. When we lived in Penn Yan, NY I still played with boys for there weren't girls my age in our neighborhood. We were very lucky, we always had our mother at home.

My father sold and repaired farm machinery so a farmer's life was our life. When we weren't in school, my brother and I often went with him when he delivered new equipment or repaired old. I got to play with many different farm animals while my brother who is older than I helped our father. At one point my family lived on a farm. We had a large garden, chickens, pigs, and a dairy cow to play with and help take care of.
