WWII Children's Stories, 3: A DAY IN THE COUNTRY

Dr. Graham finally received a camera and some film, so the day in the country contains many photos of farm animals and only a few hand-drawn sketches. Sally and Janet had a good adventure visiting an English farm. * * * * * Dr. Graham was sent overseas during WWII as part of the Massachusetts General Hospital Army Base No. 6, at age thirty-three. He departed from home in May, 1942, when Janet was three years old and Sally would be turning two. During the years until he returned in March of 1945 he wrote the Chronicle Letters to the adults back home, but also wrote and illustrated a series of short books for the children. In these stories he pretends that the two little girls are joining him in various activities.
