(More customer reviews)This is a story not to be missed! Not only does it chronicle the intertwining lives of the the Edgerton and Rockwell families, who lived next door to each other in Arlington, Vermont in the 40's and 50's but it transports you into a quieter, gentler time before the age of technology, to life on a dairy farm where all family members played a vital role in the the making or breaking of the business. It's about neighbors supporting and encouraging each other and the forging of a lifelong friendship between the Rockwells and the Edgertons. Buddy Edgerton, a former model for Norman Rockwell, writes the way he speaks, simply and directly, to immerse you in the past as he shares what life was like growing up on a farm and how his life was enriched and expanded when Norman Rockwell and his family bought the 1792 colonial farmhouse next to his in 1943. There have been many books written on Norman Rockwell, but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest as a first hand account of Norman Rockwell, his family and his relationship with the people and town of Arlington, Vermont - one that put the tiny village on the map for all time!
