Lloyd, Nelson (McAllister). Six Stars; stories. †$1.50. Scribner.
Six Stars is a little village hidden away in a Pennsylvania mountain valley. The stories are pitched in the quiet monotonous key which the valley-folk sound in their uneventful lives. “There are some passages of serious feeling and indications of currents of passion, but in the main the tales are gently humorous, with a taste of dialect but without its abuse, and with a true perception of what is interesting and worth recording in the lives of simple people.” (Outlook.)

“Is a book to read aloud, if you can for laughter, to some appreciative listener; it is one of the pleasures that are increased by dividing. The book is homey and wholesome as a red-clover field in full bloom, and is just the sort of literature that the nerve-weary need.”
