It contains fascinating information about the kitchen and the garden, the weather and the world, and, from the past, the true voices of Nancy Willard’s and Jane Dyer’s relatives telling small stories of real farm life in the Midwest long ago.

The text and pictures offer a personal and illustrated view of this family's recent past. Although it is a regional memory trip, I feel it could serve as a reminder for our own life experiences in our early years -- of course, I am in my late sixties and this opinion applies to those of that generation. (smile) It was a heart-warming look into bygone times.

This precious book caught my eye mainly because of the "snow ice cream" in the title! How fondly I remember my mother scooping up great heaps of freshly fallen snow to make that wonderful treat! And in this book we have the RECIPE!I bought the book as a gift for a 10-year-old girl who lives on a farm, plus an extra copy for myself!There are many, many wonderful thoughts, facts, pictures, and memories to beguile almost anyone, any age. Don't miss it!

I found this book to be very delightful. It brought back memories of my own great grandmother and the stories she told. The recipes and the helpful tips sounded a lot like the things my great grandma used to share. I found it to be refreshing and nostalgic. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to hear from the past the wisdom and the winsome.

Not at all what I expected, very few recipes. Would not really recommend it to someone else. Disappointed with # of recipes. Information OK.

I work in long term care and we have all been enjoying it, as well as my husband, and Dad! Good reminiscing and a beautiful book to boot!
