Chidren of the Great Depression by Russell Freedman



Any book by Russell Freedman I have read has been interesting, educational, but most of all a quick read. Filled with pictures from the time and stories of how children and young adults survived, both the good and bad sides of the worst economic crisis are included. (Yes, dear readers what is happening now is not the worst economic crisis ever.) While most of the time the struggle to survive kept families busy, there was still time for play and entertainment. Some of the entertainment was different from today - only radio and movies, but some of our favorite pastimes are still the same. If you don't believe me, read the book to find out.
