Description
I picked up this 1890 First Edition Riverdale Stories by Oliver Optic- The Do-Somethings on a whim. I did not know the impact this book could have. I would put it in the same category as The Children’s Story by James Clavell. It is less than a 30 min read and sharing this heart-warming inspirational book with your family could make an impact on them- it did with me. Oh, for a culture like this today. The Victorian Era became something I never expected but longed for. This book can become a family heirloom. It might become something you read to your children every year. The book is in EXCELLENT condition, especially for one that is 135 years old. It is tight with slightly yellowed pages. It has some illustrations but most important lots of heart-warming moments.
