ISBN: 9780700613885 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Pamela Riney-Kehrberg retells their stories, offering glimpses--both nostalgic and realistic--of a bygone era. As Riney-Kehrberg shows, the experiences of most farm children continued to reflect the traditions of family life and labor, albeit in an age when middle-class urban Americans were beginning to...
