By	anne fromm (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Americas Country Schools (Paperback)

I was looking for info. with vintage photos, etc.on "One Room" school houses. I found this book on my local library shelf, and sat at the library one rainy afternoon, EnThRaLLeD!! I now want to own it - that is why I'm here! Best book ever to bring back the "atmosphere" in your mind--or if you've never been to a country school, to fantasize!
