A Long Way From Chicago (Grandma Dowdel, Bk 1)

Series of stories about two Chicago children who spend a week with their grandmother on a farm each summer from 1929 thru 1935. The grandmother is sort of a battle-axe with a heart of gold. This is a young adult book, but I enjoyed these tales. Grandma Dowdle is a hoot of a character.
