Grandpa’s Treasure certainly refers to the energetic attractive children in a rural setting, but it could also be the autumn Illinois landscape, the bounty of grain from a field of golden cornstalks and the solid symbolism of the enduring red barn.  These pages of color photographs and accompanying text captures the joy and imagination of children, and the distant memories of adults.
