MY LITERARY ZOO KATE SANBORN’S BOOKS. =Abandoning an Adopted Farm.= 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents. “Every page is rich with its amusing and entertaining stories and references.”—_Boston Herald._ “Can not fail to be of the utmost interest to any and all who have spent any time in the country and observed the ways of country people. Miss Sanborn is simply inimitable in her ability to catch the humorous in what is passing about her, and in setting it down so that others can enjoy it.”—_Cleveland World._ =Adopting an Abandoned Farm.= 16mo. Boards, 50 cents. “‘Adopting an Abandoned Farm’ has as much laugh to the square inch as any book we have read this many a day.”—_Boston Sunday Herald._ “Miss Kate Sanborn has made a name and place for herself beside the immortal Sam Slick, and has made Gooseville, Connecticut, as illustrious as Slickville in Onion County, of the same State.”—_The Critic._ “If any one wants an hour’s entertainment for a warm sunny day on the piazza, or a cold wet day by a log fire, this is the book that will furnish it.”—_New York Observer._ =A Truthful Woman in Southern California.= 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents. “Miss Sanborn is certainly a very bright writer, and when a book bears her name it is safe to buy it and put it aside for delectation when a leisure hour comes along. This bit of a volume is enticing in every page, and the weather seemed not to be so intolerably hot while we were reading it.”—_New York Herald._ “Her descriptions are inimitable, and their brilliancy is enhanced with quaint and witty observations and brief historical allusions.... Valuable information and richly entertaining descriptions are admirably blended in this book.”—_Boston Home Journal._ New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.
