This little book is devoted to remembering the "good old days" of living in the utopian community of Hopedale, Massachusetts during the 1840s and 1850s. The pleasures and hardships of living in a village devoted to re-creating society in a non-violent, cooperative and equitable way are examined, often humorously, through the eyes of its children.

Unlike their parents, these youngsters did not volunteer to live apart from the rest of the world, nor were they necessarily passionate advocates of the ideals of their elders. In spite of this, living in an atmosphere both earnest and loving, they had the time of their lives.
