Description

Meet the Countrymen of My Parents: Baltic Folktales from Long Ago. “I am the farmer’s daughter who married the traveling salesman and have to admit that I have led a long, busy, interesting and totally enjoyable life.” Now in her 97th year, Eve Bates has written her fifth book, Meet The Countrymen of My Parents: Baltic Folktales from Long Ago, a brief history of Lithuania and some of its folktales. In this slim volume, she tells the circumstances of her parents’ departure for the new world. Leaving the land of their birth wasn’t easy and they had no guarantees that the new life would be all they wished for, but they brought their hopes, energy, commitment and tales of the Old World to warm their hearts and keep memories of that Old World alive for their children and future generations.
