A fantastic visit to the 19th century!!,
By jcate@win.bright.net (Ashland, Wi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Diary of a Real Boy (Hardcover)
I first read this book 35 years ago after finding it in my grandmother's house. She also had the Sequil "things whitch aint finished in the real diary" and "letters to Beany" (Plupy's best friend.) I still have the last 2 but have misplaced the original "diary". I still get a tremendous kick out of reading these books as they take you on a wonderful journey to a time that is gone forever. I encourage anyone of any age to read these books. Jeff Cate jcate@win.bright.net Ashland, Wi.

Create an heirloom,
By Burt D. Breedlove (east TX, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Real Diary of a Real Boy (Hardcover)
I have a 1903 edition (7th printing) that my mother (born 1911) read as a girl and passed on to me. I read it as a boy (1950's) and again recently (2004). It is an easy & enjoyable read for any age reader. It is a time-machine that will transport you to to the 1860's through the eyes of a young boy. You get his candid view of life, neighbors, family, events. Get it for yourself, your kids or a good friend. This is reading recreation and an escape from the 20th-21st centuries.

A jouney into the past,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Diary of a Real Boy (Hardcover)
My grandfather gave me this book in 1970 when I was 10 years old. I have read and reread this book many times over the last 28 years and still get as much enjoyment now as when I was a young boy. I consider it one of my dearest treasures and will present it to my son when he is old enough to read.
