Nice For Hostess Or Housewarming Gift

"Home Sweet Home"(Guideposts) is a wholesome book, that would be nice on any coffee table or guest room night stand. It's filled with old-fashioned short stories and essays of home and hearth. Memories of childhood, and holidays, poems begging to be read aloud.Recipes like grandma used to make("Lemon Pudding Cake", among them), songs like "I'll Be Home For Christmas",and "Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet" with music and words, give a wonderfully nostalgic feeling. You may find yourself, remembering something that brings back your own childhood memories. Short but sweet stories from Laura Ingalls Wilder, Louisa May Alcott,and Charles Dickens, selected poetry of William Blake, Robert Louis Stevenson,and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, are all among the many treats to be found as you turn the pages. There are also beautiful paintings pictured on almost every page. Serene settings that look like they go back to turn of the century times. Some have the artists signature, but some don't. I think the only thing that could have made this book even better, would have been to include information for the reader about these works of art and the artist. Fabulous gift for your holiday hosts or housewarming. It's a fine quality book, with sturdy pages. "Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer,sweeter spot than all the rest."....Robert Montgomery Enjoy....Laurie
