Publisher's Synopsis
""A Day at Laguerre's and Other Days"" is a collection of nine sketches by F. Hopkinson Smith, published in 1899. The book takes readers on a journey through various locations and experiences, including a day spent at a French restaurant called Laguerre's, a visit to a New England town, and a trip to the Adirondack Mountains. Smith's descriptive writing style brings each of these settings to life, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of each place. The sketches are also filled with interesting characters, from the eccentric patrons of Laguerre's to the hardworking lumberjacks of the Adirondacks. Through these characters and their experiences, Smith provides a glimpse into life in late 19th century America. Overall, ""A Day at Laguerre's and Other Days"" is a charming and insightful collection of sketches that offers a unique perspective on American society and culture at the turn of the century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
