This book is a collection of delightful short stories and poems for young readers. Excerpt: There was once a very happy little girl who spent her childhood on an old green farm. She had a little sister, and these two children never knew what it was to possess toys from the stores, but played, played, played from dawn till dark, just in the play-places they found on that green farmstead. I so often have to tell my children "how mama used to play"—for I was that very happy little girl—that I think other "little women" of these days will enjoy knowing about those dear old simple play-times.
