Gives an interesting account of life "in the 60s" and describes a little girl's life with her doll family.

This is my favorite Fr. Finn book!

Or, Some Passages in the Life of an Only Son, by Juliana Horatia Gatty Ewing. Follows the life of Reginald D'acre, the "only son" of the title, from about age four until marriage. :) This was a popular English children's book, in its day. https://archive.org/details/flatironforfarth00ewin

(Liguori) I'm currently reading this as a PDF, and it's top-notch. St. Alphonsus really is excellent. Sermons cover all sorts of topics, and are packed with quotes from (and anecdotes about) various other saints.

Here's the link, if anyone wants to check it out. Enjoy!

Many thanks to Helen Taylor, for your excellent reading of Somehow Good, by William Frend de Morgan. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded all of Mr. de Morgan's other books from archive.org!
