"Take It from Dad" by George Griswold Livermore is a collection of humorous letters written in the early 20th century. The book captures the correspondence between a father, William Soule, and his son, Ted, as he navigates the challenges of school life, self-identity, and growing pains. The letters are filled with witty anecdotes, fatherly advice, and a keen sense of perspective on youth and education. The opening portion of the book introduces us to William Soule’s perspective as he writes to his son, Ted, who seems to be struggling at Exeter Academy. William shares his thoughts on Ted's experiences at school, including a lack of confidence and some social awkwardness, all while providing encouragement and humor. He recounts personal stories from his own youth, emphasizing the lessons learned through hardship and the importance of perseverance. The engaging and conversational tone of the letters creates an inviting atmosphere, capturing the essence of a father-son relationship marked by both affection and candidness.
