| For the children of today, who most likely have not gone home from school in the rumble seat of the teacher's car, or worked in a classroom that holds all the students in the school, or had to go outside to use the school's bathroom, here is a chance to visit a school of a different time. Noted writer Laurence Pringle guides us through one last year--the last year of the Second World War--in the one-room school of his childhood, School 14 in Monroe County, New York. Barbara Garrison's folk-style collagraphs, presented as snapshots in an album, help capture the feeling of that time and place. Reading this striking collaboration, one can almost "remember the taste of the rusty well water and the smell of the dark oiled floors." |
