Little News : Polly Kay's Letters from Richland Center, Wisconsin, 1949--1995
Polly's letters amuse and instruct with snapshots of small-town life in Wisconsin as viewed by a witty, reserved, and ingenuous middle-class housewife. This is a book to browse in, with wry descriptions of blizzards, bats in the attic, parades and picnics, handymen, shopping, churches, schools, and politics--all seasoned with gossip and, finally, quizzical impressions of senior living.
