Letters from an Attic | Laura Ingalls Wilder, Barbara Cowles
In searching for her family's roots in Canandaigua, New York, Barbara Cowles became intrigued with her grandmother's life. She decided to compare this life with her mother's and then hers. By using the device of each woman writing letters to a friend, she was able to show how different the times were and yet that some things in life remain the same, no matter the year. All the facts in this book are true; in some cases where the particulars were not available, literary license was used.
