It is very artistically illustrated by Victor A. Searles, and is handsomely printed and bound. The chief characters are members of a Quaker family. The young hero and heroine, through misfortune, show a readiness to make the best of things, he by diligent application, and she by meeting everything with a happy disposition, which is both entertaining and must encourage other youngsters who read their adventures to earnest deeds. There are many exciting incidents and surprises in the story, which is told with exceeding grace and brightness. It should be a very popular Christmas gift book.—Boston Times.
It tells of the successful scheme of two bright children to raise mushrooms, and of the way they finally lifted the cloud of debt that rested on their home. The story is full of good moral lessons, imparted in such a way that they do not hurt the interest. The book is finely illustrated.—San Francisco Chronicle.
