Reviews

[Illiterate · Rating 2 out of 5]

Slight shorts. More sentimental than charming.

[Cathe Fein Olson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I stumbled upon this little book and having grown up in New England, I thought it would be fun to read. The stories are quaint little glimpses into New England townspeople in the late 1800's--full of gossipy old ladies and rambunctious children. The author's love for nature really comes through.

My library has the version printed in 1888. Consequently, it's on my kitchen counter now. Her old home is a few miles away from where I live. Weird. Books this old evoke reverence in me. ahem. yeah.
