“A young girl forced by circumstances into marriage with an old man gave him the loyal gratitude and devotion his kindness merited. She overcame the hatred of his passionate granddaughter of her own age, and became the loved ‘Grandmother’ of all the village children for whom she wove sweet songs and pretty stories. The tragedies of her inner life were never realized by those about her, but they caused her to be a benediction to every one who knew her.”—Outlook.


“Those who enjoyed ‘Captain January,’ (and that means every one, young or old, that read it) will like Mrs. Richards’s new story, ‘Grandmother.’”
