Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hope Farm Notes
Mom of these notes were originally printed in the Rural N ew-y orh'er from week to week and covering a period of about 20 years. Many readers of that maga zine have expressed the desire to have a collection of them in permanent form. It has been no easy task to make a selection and I wish to acknowledge here the great help which I have received from my daughter, Ava F. Collingwood, in arranging this matter. It has been thought best to arrange the notes in chronological order. A Hepe Farm Sermon, and Grandmother were originally printed in 1902. The others follow in the order of their original publication. The reader must understand that the children alluded to represent two distinct broods, - the second brood appearing just after the sketch entitled Transplanting the Young Idea. From the very first the object of these notes has been to picture simply and truthfully the brighter, cheerful side of Farm Life.
