Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Best Stories of Sarah Orne Jewett
I always think of her as of one who, hear ing New England accused of being a bleak land without beauty, passes confidently over the snow, and by the gray rock, and past the dark fir tree, to a southern bank, and there, brushing away the decayed leaves, triumphantly shows to the fault finder a spray of the trailing arbutus. And I should like, for my own part, to add this: that the fragrant, retiring, exquisite ?ower, which I think she would say is the symbol of New England virtue, is the symbol also of her own modest and delightful art.
