BY DOROTHY CANFIELD THE BENT TWIG |
The story of a lovely, opened-eyed, opened-minded American girl. "The romance holds you, the philosophy grips you, the characters delight you, the humor charms you—one of the most realistic American families ever drawn."—Cleveland Plaindealer. THE SQUIRREL-CAGE An unusual personal and real story of American family life. "We recall no recent interpretation of American life which has possessed more of dignity and less of shrillness than this."—The Nation. HILLSBORO PEOPLE With occasional Vermont verse by Sarah N. Cleghorn. "No writer since Lowell has interpreted the rural Yankee more faithfully."—Review of Reviews. THE REAL MOTIVE Unlike "Hillsboro People," this collection of stories has many backgrounds, but it is unified by the underlying humanity which unites all the characters. UNDERSTOOD BETSY Illustrated by Ada C. Williamson. "Children will read it eagerly for the story of a very real little girl. Parents will find it worth a whole shelf of books on child training. Teachers will get more than one pointer from its pages, and anyone with a grain of humor can't afford to miss it."—Publishers' Weekly.
