Wasn't the grass greener?: a curmudgeon's fond memories
Description
According to Barbara Holland, the world is going to seed. In Wasn't the Grass Greener?, she shares thirty-three reasons why life at the end of the millennium just isn't as good as it used to be. And after you read her rollicking remembrances of things past, you'll agree. Liquor cabinets and pianos have mysteriously vanished from homes. It's been over fifty years since the last worthwhile war. Children have forgotten how to hopscotch. Doctors never visit. And no one hangs clothes out to dry anymore. Does it really matter? Yes. Does anyone care? Hell, yes! In witty, wistful, and original essays, Barbara Holland decries this deplorable result of "progress" and reminds us of the good ol' days, when, yes, everything was better.
