Product Description "Tell me a story, Grandma."These magical words unlock marvelous tales of days gone by . . . days of horse-drawn buggies and fancy carriages, hoopskirts and high-buttoned shoes . . . days remembered only by Grandmother, that natural storyteller of all loving families who knew a simpler, perhaps richer, time more than 100 years ago. Come with us now into Grandma's attic, that storehouse of many forgotten treasureseach piece reminding Grandma of a story from her childhood. . . . The day her brother's tadpoles mysteriously turned up on Pa's chair . . . the surprise party to which she invited everyone but the guest of honor . . . and dear old Grandpa Hobbs, who often forgot what day it was . . . but could recite much of the Bible by heart. Arleta Richardson has written the beloved Grandma's Attic series as well as the Orphans' Journey series. Now retired from her career as a college professor, a librarian, and an elementary school teacher, she lives in California where she continues writing and public speaking.

| Customer Reviews: Still More Goodness May 17, 2010 Christina Slike (CO) I have been reading the Grandma's Attic series to my 5 (now 6)-year-old daughter and I couldn't be more thrilled that she loves these as much as I ever did. She likes to read true stories - and these stories of Mabel and Sarah Jane growing up 100+ years ago are perfect. The book says they are for ages 8+ but you can read them aloud to younger kids as well.
The 14 chapters are each a perfect length to read one each night. I sometimes read them aloud for my whole family and we all enjoy them. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we roll our eyes at their antics. But they are real. The friend and family relationships are real. The trials and successes are real. Their faith was strong. And kids today can relate. We get a peek into the minds of these two girls and what brings them to act the way they do. And we pray that our daughter grows up with more sense!
Arleta Richardson is a great story-teller. I am so happy to see there are more books in this series than I realized. I plan to read them all - again and again!
Arrived in time for Christmas January 9, 2010 J. Drake (Grand Rapids, Michigan) Not only did I get a good price on 3 of these books but Amazon threw in a 4th book for free. I bought these for my neice for Christmas and I was concerned that they might not arrive in time but they did, with time to spare. Books were packaged properly and looked great.
Wonderful, Nostalgic, Moral Tales! March 25, 2008 Colette Like the other reviewers, I read these as a young person many years ago and the stories really touch your heart. They sink down deep in the bones. Like Laura Ingalls Wilder stories, but closer and stronger even!
Absolutely fantastic January 26, 2005 artemishunter (San Diego, CA United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I won this collection of books at a raffle when I was in fourth grade (this was 20+ years ago). I began reading and just could not stop - I think I read through the whole 3-book series within 2 days. Now I'm going to buy the same set for my kids. I love it.
Yesterday's stories are today's treasures April 10, 2000 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I don't know of anyone alive who can tell the stories Arleta Richerdson does! I am facinated with the stories of growing up at the turn of the century -- tales from one hundred years ago. Girls of ALL ages will enjoy this book!
