Will be welcomed by a wide circle of readers. From the warm and unruffled pages of her book the reader may find genuine entertainment and instruction."-Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. "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' has as much laugh to the square inch as any book we have read this many a day."- Boston Herald. "If any one wants an hour's entertainment for a warm sunny day on the piazza, or cold wet day by a log fire, this is the book that will furnish it,"-New York Observer. "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.
