A Victorian Voice


I have made a pdf file of a composition my maternal grandmother wrote about games she played when she was a child. To me it is a 3 page piece of Americana. Here is the link for those who enjoy reading that sort of thing. I was especially impressed by how profound her opening sentence was. I almost missed it.
Keep in mind she was born in 1878, this is truly a Victorian voice speaking to us.
Enjoy.

Thank you, that's very interesting. A very charming and vivid description of childhood games. The kind of thing I love to read about.
