With unusual recall, Arleta began to write these stories for an audience that now numbers over 2 million. Under the care of her maternal grandmother, she listened for hours as her grandmother told stories from her own childhood. Gifted storyteller Arleta Richardson grew up an only child in Chicago, living in a hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan. Here are those marvelous tales-faithfully recalled for the delight of young and old alike, a touchstone to another day when life was simpler, perhaps richer when the treasures of family life and love were passed from generation to generation by a child's questions.and the legends that followed enlarged our faith.
