I love these books so much, and they make me laugh every time I read them. This is the first volume of a three-part series written by my little sister, Mary. Mary was about 14 when she wrote this volume.
The History of Martha Dellasega, Volume I
Written and Illustrated by Mary Dellasega, 1964-66
This is a real treasure!
Which boy finally won your heart?
Can’t wait to read the other volumes.
Did your sister use her artistic skills in later life? She was very good for 14 years old.
Oh these made me laugh – your sister is very talented! I love the pics and the story!
I love the story and the illustrations! She was very good at capturing the emotion. What does she do now?
This is so funny and cute! The drawings are great! Is your sister still into making art or writing stories?
This made me laugh out loud at various times, she should publish this, it is AWESOME~!!!!! 😀 Her humor, writing and illustrations are fantastic!!! Was a volume II ever done??????????
We want more details!! What is she doing now?
This is too funny. I love the 60s hairstyles! 🙂
Let us see the other two parts!!!
Wow — my old “histories” on the Web! What an honor! But I feel like it’s also a good thing there are no last names in these stories! It is strange to see how the world looked to me when I was that age. In particular, it looked as if being beautiful, sophisticated, and confident was what counted if you were female — and that my older sister was all of those things and I never would be! (That’s the sad, hesitant-to-grow-up note under the humor!)
What a treasure!! It is like having your own time capsule…Loved it!
Very fun!
What a fun book! Mary must have been very creative and focused to complete three volumes!
Priceless!!
