Clarence A. Andrews

4.9/5 (19232 ratings)

Description:This little Iowa schoolgirl of eighty [now 110+] years ago completely captured the hearts of America’s leading book critics, and she will “Oh Millersvillel is a collection of juvenilia that no American will want to see pass away. Fern Gravel was the pen-name of a sub-teen authoress whose soul simultaneously exfoliated in and was griped by her Iowa home town, early in the l900’s. Her verses are as good examples of dead-pan lyricism as have ever been printed.”——TIME. “We have found the lost Sappho of Iowa!”—NEW YORK TIMES. “You’ll be having hysterics on every page . . but by the time you’ve chuckled or roared for a dozen pages or so, you begin to see something else here . . an odd, serious, lovable little girl naively holding up a mirror to nature. You’ll know yesterday’s Middle West as you never knew it before.”—Joseph Henry Jackson, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE. “This book is likely to be one of the most unusual and charming of the year. Long after 1941, we think, you’ll remember this book with a good warm feeling and a smile.”—PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. “So good that it hurts. . . "—WASHINGTON POST. "Fern Gravel sets down the dear little banalities of childhood with an innocence and seriousness that mark her for immortality.”—James Gray, ST. PAUL DISPATCH. “This book is amazing, amusing, full of human scene, and not to be missed because-there can’t be another like it in the world.”—John Holmes, BOSTON TRANSCRIPT. “There is so warm a feeling of validity about these verses, and so accurate a sense of individual character, their final impact is far stronger than a simple amusement at girlish simplicity... This is majestic fooling.”-—Paul Engle, DES MOINES REGISTER. “As important in its way as in a far different way was Spoon River Anthology. The book is full of charming humor. It is also excellent history, and not a bad source book for child psychologists.”—Gerald Sanders, DETROIT FREE PRESS.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
