Dover Days ( Stories from Home Series)

Dover Days chronicles a small town New England childhood not so long ago when children played outside until the dinner bell rang -- a time of afternoon leisure instead of lessons, of skating ponds and sledding hills, of woods exploration and trips to the penny candy store. Set in the author's beloved hometown of Dover, Massachusetts, these poignant reminiscences will strike a familiar chord with all who hold their childhood home deep in their hearts. "We biked to the center of town under the guise of independence but always under the watchful eyes of neighbors who knew our phone number by heart?To grow up rooted in love and sheltered by pines in a neighborhood where houses poured out kids for endless afternoons of fort building and game playing is to feel embraced for the many years to come."
