Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four-Footed Americans and Their Kin
It was October. Everything looked cheerful at the farm. The maples were dressed in dazzling red and yellow; heaps of red and yellow apples lay under the orchard trees, and the house and barns wore a glisten ing new coat of yellow paint, with white trimmings and green blinds.
A deeper yellow shone from the fields where jolly pumpkins seemed to play hide-and-seek behind the corn stacks, which the children called wigwams when they played Indian. Everything looked as thrifty as if the outdoor season was beginning instead of nearly at an end; and well it might, for it had been many years since the Old farm held such a family. There would be no closed blinds, leaf-choked paths, or snow drifts left to bury the porch, this winter.
