  Although fiction, Julia Harrington in a strange and wonderful way is more real than recorded history. Julia is aged twelve-going-on-thirteen in the year 1913. She tells her own story through her memories, impressions, heart and mind and in her own special language, direct, honest, and perceptive.

 In a larger sense Julia Harrington is one year in the life of a small town ― Winnebago, Iowa ― as seen by a schoolgirl a century ago ― one year of life in rustic America during those innocent and tranquil times, when the only possible unpleasantness was the rumblings of war in far-off Europe.

 Richard Bissell knows America and her  people. In Julia Harrington he breathes life into a bygone era not only by telling it as it was but revealing it with illustrations reproduced from original advertisements, mail-order catalogs, and other period pieces. The result is a delight to read, a delight to look at ― truly a book for all ages.

The .pdf color version available from enetpress.com allows gesture zooming on iPads and other touch screen devices so the fine print in the advertisements can be read.
