Child Life in Colonial Days

About this film

LibriVox recording of Child Life in Colonial Days by Alice Morse Earle. Read in English by Susan Morin. The accounts of oldtime child life gathered for this book are wholly unconscious and full of honesty and simplicity, not only from the attitude of the child, but from that of his parents, guardians, and friends. The records have been made from affectionate interest, not from scientific interest; no profound search has been made for motives or significance, but the proof they give of tenderness and affection in the family are beautiful to read and to know. - Summary by Taken from Forward of book.
