- Summary:
- The years between the two world wars, even in small-town middle America, were times of change and challenge. Here you'll find a heart-warming account of those years as viewed through the eyes of a young boy, illumined by the insights gained from life in a corner drugstore and the family dwelling above the store. These essays incorporate snippets of history, pertinent sociology and engaging school experiences bound together with fragments of philosophy and perceptions of the human condition. The telling is done with humor, wit, criticism, nostalgia and an occasional reference to sexual mores, illegal alcohol and restrained mischief making.
