Fond Memories from Childhood,
This review is from: Mother West Wind "Why" Stories (Old Mother West Wind Series, Volume 5) (Old Mother West Wind Series, Volume 5) (Hardcover)
I was an avid reader as a child. So when my family went to visit acquaintances but I was bored, I explored their bookshelves. One day I came across this old book. (It was old and rare even back then.) I was curious because it looked different from anthing I'd read before. I ended up borrowing "Mother West Wind Why Stories" many times from our acquaintance, because I wanted to read it over and over again. Then I asked the public library to track down another book in the series: Mother West Wind "How" Stories. I read stories from both books aloud to my friends. I loved how every story presented a moral,like Aesop's fables -- but reading Aesop was dry when compared to Mother West Wind.
Because these books were difficult to find, yet I wanted to be able to continue rereading, I eventually decided to copy them. This was before copy machines. I remember this book so vividly because I gave up playtime for many weeks to tediously copy each story in longhand, in childish handwriting, onto a large stack of paper. It was a price I was happy to pay, so that I could participate in the world of Mother West Wind. I'm gratified to see that these books remain available for children now to enjoy as they grow up.
