Merry Go Bush / Alexander, Marge / (PB/1972-1972/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is in good condition and very clean inside, has freckles and stains on the page edges.*

The Merry-go Bush--Does that name conjure mental pictures of lots of boys and girls running helter-skelter, having fun, getting into mischief, perhaps occasionally falling down and getting hurt? That's what this book is about. Stories from near at home and far away, from long ago or just yesterday. Stories of heroes and heroines--and of some who failed. 

Childhood is a time of wonder, of anxiety, of adventure, of boredom. It is a time for learning, and a time to assess and judge what one has learned. The Merry-go Bush reflects all of these moods, and through the author's storytelling skill, helps the reader to identify with the children in the stories--and to find his own identity, as well.
