Butler, a Methodist clergyman from Vermont, has written an enchanting narrative recalling and re-creating the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the nation moved inexorably from crafts to technology. He eloquently introduces the reader to the near-magical years in America when Christmas trees were lit with candles; radios were cumbersome boxes stuffed with tubes, cardboard, and wires; scratchy phonograph discs recorded music in tinny fidelity; parades were an anticipated entertainment; and ice cream was hand-churned at home. It was a time of lamp lighters, organ grinders, and horse-car conductors. Butler focuses on common transformations rather than elite documentary. His work is a gentle and skillful blend of the social, cultural, political, and practical history of a dynamic nation in a period of great changes. Recommended for most collections. Richard K. Burns, MSLS, Hatboro, Pa. Ives
