Further Adventures of Clarissa and Gregory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781943492978)

The third book in this charming series of true-life stories is based on the memories of Clarissa Nadine Townsend and her brother, Paul Gregory Townsend, set in rural America in the post-depression era. From sampling the sweet sap of the "sugar" bush, to making a dress from an old feed sack (then tearing it on a barbed wire fence!), and watching baby goats get into all kinds of mischief, Clarissa's adventures capture the essence of what it meant to be a child in these innocent times. There's even a template for making a paper doll of Clarissa and her feed sack dress!
