Overall, W.A.G.'s Tale is a compelling story that offers a unique perspective on a tumultuous period in world history.We were right in the middle of this, and Aunty May was a little red-faced, and her hair was kind of wild, when we heard somebody laugh, and there was the painter-man down by the river, laughing as hard as he could laugh; and Aunty Edith trying to look severe at Aunty May and not able to, on account of her looking so comical. She had a black smudge from the end of the beanpole, which had been in a bonfire, across her forehead. You see she had just jumped the farthest, and was hollering, ""Glug-Glug.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
