"In brief, the book is delightfully sketchy and chatty, thoroughly
feminine and entrancing. The writer represents herself as a doctor's
daughter in a country town, who has married an Englishman, and after two
years abroad has come home to live. Both husband and wife prefer the
country to the city, and they make of their modest estate a mundane
paradise of which it is a privilege to have a glimpse. Surely it is no
exaggeration to characterize this as one of the very best books of the
holiday season, thus far."--_Providence Journal._
"It is written with charm, and is more than a mere treatise on what may
be raised in the small lot of the suburban resident.
"The author has not only learned to appreciate nature from intimate
association, but has achieved unusual power of communicating these facts
to others.
