ONLY FIFTY YEARS AGO

Twenty nine year ago As The Earth Turns was published, a nostalgic and strongly reminiscent novel of a Maine childhood and growing years. Now comes a non-fiction work in which quite evidently the author is the Marcy Hasty of fifty years ago. For younger readers who like to hear about ""when you were a little girl"" - this will truly seem olden times, for cars were rare, the first planes a miracle, the one-room school houses not an anomaly, and the family subsistence farm a normal way of life.
