Aunt Jo's scrap-bag, Volume 6 : $b An old-fashioned Thanksgiving, etc.
Alcott, Louisa May
Children's stories
"This charming little book, written for children's entertainment
and instruction, is equally delightful to the fathers and
mothers. It is life in New England, and the racy history of a
long railway journey to the wilds of Colorado. The children are
neither imps nor angels, but just such children as are found in
every happy home. The pictures are so graphically drawn that we
feel well acquainted with Rob and Nelly, have travelled with
them and climbed mountains and found silver mines, and know all
about the rude life made beautiful by a happy family, and can
say of Nelly, with their German neighbor, Mr. Kleesman, 'Ach
well, she haf better than any silver mine in her own
self.'"--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
"In 'Nelly's Silver Mine' Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson has given us a
true classic for the nursery and the school-room, but its
readers will not be confined to any locality. Its vivid
portraiture of Colorado life and its truth to child-nature give
it a charm which the most experienced cannot fail to feel. It
will stand by the side of Miss Edgeworth and Mrs. Barbauld in
all the years to come."--_Mrs. Caroline H. Dall._
"We heartily commend the book for its healthy spirit, its lively
narrative, and its freedom from most of the faults of books for
children."--_Atlantic Monthly._
_Our publications are to be had of all Booksellers. When not to be
found, send directly to_
