Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Boston Neighbours in Town and Out
Be so very personal; so I will call it Baby land, which indeed people Often do in' fun. There never was such a place for children. The population is mostly under seven years Old, for it was about seven years ago that young married people began to move into it in such numbers, because it is so healthy; but it was always a great place for them even when it was small. The Old inhabitants are mostly grand fathers and grandmothers now, and enjoy it very much; but they usually go into town in the winter, with such unmarried children as they have left, to get a little change; for there is no denying that there is a sameness about it - the sidewalks are crowded with perambula tors every pleasant day, and at our parties the talk is apt to run too much on nursery-maids, and milkmen and their cows, and drains, to be very interesting to those who have not learned how terribly important such things are. SO in winter we - I mean the young married couples, Of whom I am half a one - are left pretty much to our own devices.
