Review of
Grandma Trooley’s Old Fashioned Picture
Book for Boys and Girls, by Americana Review
Four out of five stars
The games children played
This pamphlet
is a collection of old-style prints depicting children at play. From the
actions, clothing and backdrops, the scenes could be anytime in the nineteenth
century. There are few, if any, manufactured toys, the activities are generally
those where imagination transformed what the children had into toys. It is an
interesting and accurate look back at how children amused themselves in the
nineteenth century.
