Summary: Recollections of a Time Gone By
Comment: "The Old-Time Art of Thrift" is a series of people's warm recollections, usually one or two pages in length, of how they had to make do or do without in the first few decades of the 20th Century. Given to me by my ninety-two year old grandmother, who had her own share of stories to tell on the subject, this book is also chock full of drawings and pictures illustrating the culture and lifestyle from this era. This is easy reading, and certainly something that could be shared with children to help them appreciate life without television, microwave ovens, and video games. By depicting the camaraderie, ingenuity, and determination that people had to make it through sparse times, one is left with admiration for a time gone by.
