FROM BACK COVER: A review from the Newark Star-Ledger (a NJ newspaper) "An American Childhood" combines the child's sense of wonder with the adult's intelligence and is written in some of the finest prose that exists in contemporary America. It is a special sort of memoir that is entirely successful...This new book is Annie Dillard's best, a joyous ode to her own happy childhood.
