My Magic Tree House : An Iowa Childhood in the Early 1900s

Sharing vignettes of small town Iowa from 1908 to about 1918, the author offers a glimpse of her childhood growing up in a country doctor's large family. Told from a child's perspective, the stories include the events of daily life, as well as the changes resulting from arrival of the auto age and electricity and women getting the vote. The tree house was a refuge, the place to which she could retreat and strive to understand the sometimes confusing world around her.Vandervelde, Marjorie Mills is the author of 'My Magic Tree House : An Iowa Childhood in the Early 1900s', published 2004 under ISBN 9780971563018 and ISBN 0971563012.
