The Joy of Parenting: Toddlers to Teenagers from the Classic Magazine Era (Prion Postcard Books) » (POSTCARD)

In the postwar years, shortly before television took over our lives forever, the magazine world was enjoying its finest hour. Unlike the magazines of today, America’s SATURDAY EVENING POST and Britain’s JOHN BULL tried to entertain the whole family. In particular, they relished exposing the perverse joys and frustrations of raising children: sleepless nights, troubled fathers, worried mothers, screaming tots, and sulky teens. This collection of magazine cover art, including some of Norman Rockwell’s most famous images, is the perfect gift for harried parents everywhere.
