Brushwood Library

A view from the entry door showing the fireplace, radio and Grandfather's desk.

"There were two walls filled with books, a special radio, a fireplace, two desks, one his and one for the secretaries who often came out for a week or so to work with him.... they were very sweet and two became especially good friends of mine. As a teen when Grandfather wasn't there I would use that room to "entertain" my friends by listening to the radio in front of a roaring fire... wonderful atmosphere. As a little one I read all I could get my hands on, including the Encyclopedia Britannica which was thoughtfully put on a lower shelf! The collection was very diverse, lots of folklore, philosophy or religious tomes of every sort of religion, history plus, of course current novels, etc. I have two of the books, Willa Cather's My Antonia and a huge coffee table sized book on Scottish tartans...."
