[quote=Anonymous]Don't base your life around a book of fiction about the 1890s which was probably written with nostalgia and selective memory after the two world wars. My grandparents lived then; while in some ways they had an simpler life, in many ways they did not. Kids often didn't graduate from high school and went to work in cities or on farms, there was a lot of death of siblings and parents from childhood diseases and bacterial infections. I remember reading Caddie Woodlawn at 12 and longing for that life. It was a sweet story but it wasn't mine.[/quote]
