When Toronto Was For Kids - 1961

Turn back the clock with Robert Thomas Allen's 'When Toronto Was for Kids', and discover a city filled with adventure! Explore a time when the streets were alive with games, shops sold penny candy, and the waterfront was your playground... "Do you remember stealing ice from the ice cart; riding on the back steps of the bread wagon, or clanging the floor bell on the old train cars? Did you make willow whistles; kites from old newspapers; crack every chestnut in your block with your favorite bully, or build the best alley roll in town? Do you remember hikes in the Don Valley or Armour Heights? This is a book to make you laugh and cry, a book that will pull at your heart strings and let you live again the fun that you knew when Toronto was truly a place for kids..." - When Toronto was for Kids - Robert Thomas Allen.
