"Those who take up this volume expecting a commonplai 

 which to while away a few hours, will find themselves most a 



ace story with 

 agreeably sur- 

 prised. It is full, from beginning to end, of the most delicious humor, 

 while through the whole runs a vein of pathos that touches and thrills to 

 tears in the midst of laughter. One feels that the quaint characters described 

 here have their counterparts, that it is real life upon the bleak Cape Cod of 

 which we are reading. The warmest love flows out to Grandpa and 

 Grandma Spicer, whose horizon is bounded by the ocean upon which 

 Grandpa has spent so many years of his life, and who are both so kindly 

 natured and full to the brim of goodness. Benny Cradlebow, the unlettered 

 young Apollo, challenges our sympathy from the first to the last, when he 

 loses his life in trying to save that of his would-be rival." Toledo Blade. 



"There is real power in her characterization. Real eloquence in her ac- 

 count of the uncultivated singing. . . Real pathos in the vague religious 

 opinions and intense religious sentiment of these simple, brave people." 

 Boston Advertiser. 



" Her description of the provincial traits of this most provincial of all the 

 outlying New England settlements, are admirable bits of genre workman- 

 ship." Harper's Magazine.
