Description

With fond reminiscences and nostalgic cartoons, Bob Artley takes readers back to his little country schoolhouse, Marion No. 7, in Iowa’s Franklin County. Readers will share farm boy Artley’s first-day agonies, the long walks to and from school, the varsity yard games, the Christmas program, and the yearly picnic all recalled along with his characteristic humor and insight.

Everything that Artley experienced from the smell of scorched mittens left too long at the stove to dry to the thrill of performing within the school program is recalled here with delightful details, providing life lessons and delightful, warm memories.

Artley is thought of as one of the vital country’s foremost recorders of farm history. His wonderful artwork and stories reflect his sense of country nostalgia and farm heritage and speak to any person with a farming background and to those that yearn for simpler times.
