Overview

A Vanished World is an elegant and exquisite personal portrait of a rural, turn-of-the-century childhood from a young girl's perspective. But Anne Sneller's ""vanished world"" is not just the small world she knew as a child; it is the world of the old rural America, a peaceful world of family farms, quiet country roads, and small towns, which stretched from New England to the West Coast, from Minnesota to Texas.

Reviews

"Extraordinarily good. . . . One of the best accounts ever written of a certain kind of American experience.-- ""New York Herald Tribune"" Sneller evokes the lives of her ancestors so that they become ours as well. Simply by remembering she moves us.-- ""Newsweek"" A Vanished World is a delight. It is tough and true. And while it centers on the Moulton family of Cicero, New York, it has a universality that takes it beyond any boundaries but that of time.-- ""Auburn Citizen-Advertiser"""
