First read these books in the early 80's and they have been read many times over. I recommend it to all people who live in the Toronto area. It echos the life of my Grandmonther who grew up in Toronto during the 20's. It is a great way for young childern to get connected to what life was like early in the century. Must read, should be in the Toronto School System as manditory reading.
