Humorous..Reveals the social and economic climate of that period...Delightful reading for all ages..Easy to relate to...Entertaining... 163 pages ...Reading "Cornbread and Beans for Breakfast" is like traveling back to the Rural South during the Great Depression and World War......Almost everyone had one thing in common -- little money. In those days few teens had cars. Television was still years away, and the only "weed" or "grass" folks knew about was that hoed from the corn and cotton fields. Children had to be far more creative in their pursuit of entertainment and fun, relying more on friends, family, and the goodness of nature than today's video-oriented kids. Life was simple compared wiith life-styles of today's teens. Reading "Cornbread and Beans" makes one yearn again for those days, a time of dear friends and gentle people.Hanna, James M. is the author of 'Corn Bread and Beans for Breakfast: Alabama Boyhood in the Thirties and Forties' with ISBN 9780964045804 and ISBN 096404580X.
