Query: Childhood recalled

Was given this book by my first grade teacher when she discovered that I could read. At that time ( at that age) I was transported by it--- mystified, enlightened and in the end, devastated. That was at a very young age, in a different time, a different world. Someone reading this book for the first time as an adult today might easily wonder how a child might have reacted to it as I did.
