Part memoir and part family history this delightful story of the crayon combines local Sandusky history with Ohio history and broadens to include United States History along with world history. Written by John Kropf who is a descendant of the founders of the American Crayon Company. His legacy crayon company competed with other crayon companies in the first half of the 20th century. It absorbed most of the competition but Crayola out survived them. This short book was right up my alley and if you don't read it you are missing out. The author is close to my age so grew up in the same era as I. While I did not grow up in Sandusky I did grow up in the midwest. Therefore the book had some nostalgia for me.
