OSTRICH CHICK.
“The author’s style is gossipy, and she has a sense of humor that aids greatly in making her book readable. She seems to write without an effort, as if she enjoyed it; and before we have gone through the first chapter we become warm friends, so that when the final chapter arrives we part with the authoress with sincere regret.”—Philadelphia Item.
“A perfect book of its kind.… Mrs. Martin joins keen observing powers to a great love of nature, both animate and inanimate, and a rare descriptive faculty. Her pictures of the farm life, but, above all, of her dumb companions, are admirable.… The illustrations are excellent.”—New York Evening Post. [[319]]
