Product Description
Set against the lush backdrop of rural El Salvador at the turn of the century, Claudia Lars' richly evocative memoir is a simple, yet profound tribute to the folklore, customs, and traditions of her people. It is a lyrical exaltation of her land's beauty, brimming with warm, vibrant imagery. Born to an Irish-American father and a Salvadoran mother, Lars takes readers on an enchanting journey that celebrates her dual heritage and reveals, with innocence and charm, the gradual self-awareness of a child who, from a very young age, was endowed with the soul of a poet.Land of Childhood was first published in El Salvador in 1958. Currently in its seventeenth edition, it is an award-winning book that has become a beloved national classic as well as required reading for students in secondary schools and university classrooms.

A Fantastic Journey to Our Childhood May 4, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book will bring back memories from your childhood. Readers will close each chapter and travel in time back to their own childhood; it will evoke those memories long gone. This is truly a return to the innocence of the early years. Claudia's heritage (Irish-Spanish-Native Central American) gave her the best of all worlds; the way she describes her motherland in this book is fantastic. Claudia's way of capturing the attention of the reader by describing simple day to day things through the chapters of these memories has magic. I invite you to take the journey as well, you will be glad upon your arrival.
