"The Fotygraft Album" by Francis Marion Wing
"The Fotygraft Album" by Francis Marion Wing is a whimsical narrative written in the early 20th century. This book appears to be a children’s story or a light-hearted family account, exploring themes of neighborhood interaction and familial connections through a series of humorous anecdotes centered around a young girl's personal album. It captures the charm of a bygone era, highlighting the warmth of community and family life. The story unfolds through the
voice of an eleven-year-old girl, Rebecca Sparks Peters, who introduces her new neighbor to her family through a scrapbook-style album filled with drawings and stories. Each page features a different family member or acquaintance, accompanied by Rebecca's endearing and humorous observations.
