“Her little pictures of country life are fragrant with a genuine love of nature, and there is fun as genuine in her notes on rural character. A travelling pieman is one of her most lovable personages; another is Tatters, a dog, who is humanly winsome and wise, and will not soon be forgotten by the reader of this very entertaining book.”—New York Tribune.
The Garden, You and I
“This volume is simply the best she has yet put forth, and quite too deliciously torturing to the reviewer, whose only garden is in Spain.… The delightful humor which persuaded the earlier books, and without which Barbara would not be Barbara, has lost nothing of its poignancy, and would make The Garden, You and I pleasant reading even to the man who doesn’t know a pink from a phlox or a Daphne cneorum from a Cherokee rose.”—Congregationalist.

Each, in decorated cloth covers, $1.50
Calumet “K” Illustrated by Harry C. Edwards
“Calumet ‘K’ is a novel that is exciting and absorbing, but not the least bit sensational. It is the story of a rush.… The book is an unusually good story; one that shows the inner workings of the labor union, and portrays men who are the bone and sinew of the earth.”—The Toledo Blade.
The Short Line War
“A capital story of adventure in the field of railroading.”—Outlook.
