Description

Children and Older People by Ruth Suckow is a beautifully observed collection of stories capturing the quiet dramas of small-town American life. First published in 1931 by Alfred A. Knopf, this first edition showcases Suckow’s gift for psychological insight and her warm yet unsentimental view of human relationships.

These stories explore the delicate emotional worlds of children, parents, and the elderly—moving through humor, tenderness, loneliness, and moments of quiet revelation. Suckow writes with a clarity that feels timeless, turning everyday encounters into windows into the human heart.
