"In Buncombe County" is bubbling over with merriment—one could not be blue with such a companion for an hour.—Boston Times.
It is brimming over with humor, and the reader who can follow the fortunes of the redbird alone, who flutters through the first few chapters, and not be moved to long laughter, must be sadly insensitive. But laugh as he may, he will always revert to the graver vein which unobtrusively runs from the first to the last page in the book. He will lay down the narrative of almost grotesque adventure with a keen remembrance of its tenderness and pathos.—New York Tribune.

IN A DIKE SHANTY
Of the same general character as this author's "Tenting on Stony Beach," but written with more vigor and compactness. Each of the persons in this outing-sketch is strongly individualized, and an effective little love story is interwoven. The author has a certain hardness of tone which gives strength to her work.—Atlantic Monthly.
With a cover designed by Frank Hazenplug. 16mo. Cloth. 11.25.
