A young girl delights in her grandmother's stories of days gone by, sparked by keepsakes and simple questions. Grandma shares marvelous stories of mischief, discovery, and laughter, such as a beautiful heart-shaped locket and a curl that cost Grandma more than a lock of hair.

I just finished this second book in the Grandma's Attic series. It was ok but the adults were still pretty demeaning toward the children. I did like reading the story about how the little girl tried to win a contest at school with a book being the prize. I like to collect antique books and have several in my collection that were given as prizes in school and Sunday school. At a time when most homes only had a handful of books, if that, I'm sure these books were very precious!
I enjoyed these stories as a little girl. They are not overly didactic, but mildly instructive (always learning from the foibles of the narrator's girlhood experiences). They are also not overtly Christian, although the perspective is consistent with a Christian world view.
I love this series! I have read all of these books over and over
Again! They are such fun silly stories! I would recommend
This book to a lot of people.
I LOVE this series! I have probably read the series
3 times. I love it! Read it! Totally!
