THE MAKING OF CHRISTOPHER FERRINGHAM
By BEULAH MARIE DIX
12mo. Cloth. $1.50
"It bids fair to be widely enjoyed for its remarkable vividness, thesweep of its narrative, and its surprising variety of interest. It issomewhat unlike other recent historical romances. The narrative isnever for a moment interrupted for the sake of local color.... Yet,in few, if any, recent historical narratives have we had so vivid andmemorable, or so realistic, a picture of the daily life of a givencommunity in a past age. It may fairly be questioned if there can befound anywhere else in literature so well rounded, so persuasive, andso forcible a portrayal of a typical Puritan community as that which wehave in the first half of this book."--_The Boston Herald._
