At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends by Dwight D. Eisenhower
The former President of the United States here reveals, in an informal and delightful way, the events which shaped his life. "Ike" talks about his Kansas boyhood, his days as a high-spirited, often disciplined cadet, the parents who meant so much to him, and his own marriage and children. And he recalls the colorful personalities he knew as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, and the fateful decisions it fell to him to make. A charming and important memoir.
The Gift of the Deer by Helen Hoover. On Christmas day he staggered out of the forest--a starving buck, blinded in one eye by a hunter's shotgun blast. Helen and Adrian Hoover nursed him back to health in their isolated northern Minnesota clearing, and were rewarded with a priceless gift: the friendship of this wild creature, whom they named Peter. A beautiful and searching view of deer and many other kinds of forest life, made vastly entertaining by the strong personalities of Peter's beguiling family.
The Town of Dr. Moore by Agatha Young. Few people in Haddon, Vermont, had had a broken arm, chicken pox or a baby without the devoted attentions of Dr. Edward Moore. He had even built the town a hospital from his own resources. But times were changing. Suddenly Dr. Moore found that all he stood for was being challenged, and the pattern of many lives was disturbed before things were put to rights. A book that deals warmly with a real problem of our day.
Airs Above the Ground by Mary Stewart. Vanessa March has a mystery to solve concerning her husband; her traveling companion, Tim Lacy, has his own teen-age problems. Their seperate missions converge to lead them into the web of secrets haunting a small European circus, secrets to which the famous white Lippizaner stallions of Vienna, leaping in their graceful "airs above the ground", hold the key. Another of Mary Stewart's gripping stories of intrigue and suspense.
