No Instructions Needed: An American Boyhood in the 1950s

An affectionate look by artist Robert Hewitt at what it was like to be a boy in America in the 1950s, in a world where the family sunroom was filled with model trains, the refrigerator with chocolate milk, and a fellow's suitcase with firecrackers. Here's a look at growing up in a more-innocent time in a pleasant neighborhood where everyone knew everyone else - and what they'd been up to - and were quick to tell a fellow's parents all they knew, in a past that really was another country, where boys did do things differently. It was a lot of fun.
