144 p. Betty Friesen wrote this book some years ago and it was printed and sold many copies. She loved to make up stories for children but it wasn't until she was in her 60's that she actually wrote a book for children. Mom wrote three more books: More about the Martins, Three Years Later, and Hilltown friends, which we intend to bring to the public again. Mom passed away in 1999. This book has been out of print for several years and now we, her children, are reprinting it to satisfy the many readers who have requested it. Children love this story and it is easy to read aloud to them. Alice Warkentin
