The story is one of free, outdoor life, characterized by a deal of fine
descriptive writing and many bits of local color that invest the whole
book with an atmosphere which is actually fragrant; the entire story is
as fresh and as clear and as bright as if some of the breezes of "Lake
Chicopee" had blown straight through it from cover to cover and left
their odors of flowery pastures and pine woods and New Hampshire air on
every page.--_Bangor Commercial._
