The book tells tells the story of a family's summer on a Maine island overlooking Penobscot Bay, filled with bright images and simple alliteration.

I am almost 56 years of age, and I possess a tremendous photogenic and long term memory for many and various items of numerous sorts and experiences throughout my life, especially of my youth.

There are books and magazines of my younger days that I found pictured on the internet and was just tickled to all colors to find them !!!

However, for years and ever since I had first aquired this book (Time of Wonder) of my elementary school years, I just pondered in search as to how I could come across it again as I recalled the cover picture vividly and some of the pictures inside the book as well. However I could not recall the title. This book would come to mind from time to time, and I tried diligently to find it "on Line" typing just about anything in the "google" search engine from "elementary children's school books" to "books of our youth" " 2 girls in a sailing skiff\boat" etc... but no luck.

I frequent a local town College Libray on the Eastern Shore Maryland when I come to visit my paretns - (Washington College - Chestertown, Maryland). Recently, as I approached the enrance I galanced at the book show case and practically became " faint " as I saw the book of my lifetime search poised inside the show case !!!!!!! WHAT A MOMENT !!!!!!! The title " Time of Wonder " did not bring back any memories to it's name, but I was turned upside down when I saw it displayed in the show case !!!!! I just marveled and studied it prolongly !!!! It was so wonderful to come across it as I thanked heaven for bringing it in my path. I just wished I recalled the title, as I found it immedidately on the internet afterwards by typing in the name of this wonderful book. Yes, it is such a beauty of a feeling to have this experience as it just brings me back to my youthful days of boyhood !!!!! Love it to death !!!!!!!
