"Those who take up tliis volume txpecting" a commonplace storj' with 

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

 prised. It is lull, from hc^innini^ to end, of the most delicious humor, 

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

 tears in the midst of laua;"hter. One feels tliat the quaint characters described 

 liere 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 

 naturcd and full to the brim of goodness. Benny Cradiebow, the unlettered 

 young Apollo, challenges tiur 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 uncult'i\'atcd singing. . . Real pathos in the vague religious 

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

 Soston Adi'ertisrr. 



" Her description of the jirovincial traits of this most pro\'inciaI of all tlie 

 outlying New England settlements, are admirable bits of ^tV//-tMvurkman- 

 ship." — Harper'' s Magazine.
