By MARGARET SIDNEY
12mo Cloth
Illustrated by F. T. MERRILL $1.35 _net_
The opening chapters introduce us to old Boston in England. MargaretSidney went there in 1907 and absorbed the atmosphere of Cotton Mather's"St. Botolph's Town," gathering for herself facts and traditions. Then"St. Botolph's Town" yields its scenic effects, and the setting of thestory is changed to Boston Town of New England.
The story is absorbing, graphic, and truly delightful, carrying onealong till it seems as if actual participation in the events had beenthe lot of the reader. The same naturalness that is so conspicuous inher famous "Pepper Books" marks this latest story of Margaret Sidney's.She makes characters live and speak for themselves.
It is an inspiring, patriotic story for the young, and contains striking and realistic pictures of the times with which it deals.--_Sunday School Magazine, Nashville._
The author presents a story, but she gives a veracious picture of conditions in the town of Boston during the Revolution. Parents who are seeking wholesome books can place this in the front tank with entire safety.--_Boston Globe._
Surely Margaret Sidney deserves the gratitude of many a child, and grown-ups, too, for that matter, in telling in so charming, yet, withal, so simple a manner, of these early days in this country.--_Utica Observer._
A really thrilling tale of the American Revolution. Interesting for both old and young.--_Minneapolis Journal._
