Faber Book of Contemporary Stories About Childhood
Lorrie Moore
An anthology of stories about childhood. Contemporary writers present the innocence and knowingness of a child's-eye view as it confronts the contradictions and hypocrisies of the adult world. Each story is told by a child character or by the adult who was that child.
