A Child's Christmas in Chicago

About the Book

Christmas in Chicago back in the forties and fifties was different. The weather was different, the people jarred from their usual concerns, and the things that happened strange, delightful, and often wacky.

There was no stigma attached to being poor, to working with your hands, or to being out of work. We were all in this, whatever this was, together.
