This book is fascinating! It moves along and keeps your attention. I just stayed up all night reading it. Couldn't put it down. I loved the bits of attitude from the early 1900s, like where the kids say "Who wants an outhouse INSIDE the house? How discusting!" while the parents think it's a great idea. Then there are the comments about electricity being a good thing or not. All the things we take for granted now are dealt with in this book, cars versus horses, wax paper windows, fascinating
