When All the World Was Young: A Memoir

Acclaimed writer Barbara Holland, whom the Philadelphia Inquirer has called €œa national treasure,€ finally tells her own story with this atmospheric account of a postwar American childhood. When All the World Was Young is Holland€s account of growing up in Washington, D.C., during the 1940s and €50s, and is a deliciously subversive, sensitive journey into her past.
Mixing tales of an autocratic stepfather, a brilliant, reclusive mother, and a houseful of siblings with jump-rope rhymes and dangerous sled runs, teachers both wise and weird, and a child€s-eye view of war, Holland gives readers a unique and sharp-eyed look at history and the world of childhood as it used to be.
