When I was first working and had a little money to spend, I started buying books such as this one, which was first published in 1945... It was hardback, again smaller in size than printed these days. She writes about what is happiness and where we might find it... Encouragement and sorrow... It was a little book that I used by topic, when I was confronted with any given situation... I find it is a comfort to hear/read what somebody else is saying about a topic of concern, don't you?
