Tell Us about the Olden Days, Please Mommy

By the time Phyllis Brandow was twenty-years-old she had moved many times. Her life became one adventure after another. And in this memoir, she tells the stories that shaped her life.

The stories in Tell us about the Olden Days, Please Mommy originated from the tales Brandow relayed to her two children when they were young and crawled in bed and asked her to describe the olden days. The narrative encompasses events and life experiences from her early years growing up in Manitoba, Canada, to her nomadic years moving throughout Canada, to eventually settling down in Calgary to begin the ultimate adventure with grandchildren.

From the anecdotes contained within the pages of Tell us about the Olden Days, Please Mommy, Brandow seeks to impart memories of herself as a person who loved nothing more than to seek out a wild and crazy adventure, to unravel a mystery, to laugh out loud, and to have lots of fun.
