Thanks once again Lyons!
Wonderful!

What the boys are swimming in on the cover is, I believe a water trough which used to be put out for animals to drink.
Marbles! That brings back memories. Does anybody play marbles any more?
The current generation missed out on so much!

That tree on page 6 is obviously a Maple, and that boy is drinking pure Maple Syrup. Where's the anit-sugar moralists?

As the guy with the pointy ears used to say, 'Fascinating!'

Cheers!

We use to play marbles in our street when I was kid - but you're right, you don't see kids playing marbles anymore (or jacks come to that). In fact, you don't really see kids playing in the street anymore - how sad.

The game still exists though and clearly has its adherents:
