Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Willoughby´s Wisdom: A Story of New England Country Life in by-Gone Days Let no reader imagine that a new literary character has come upon the stage. The writing of a simple, short story, in prose or song - even though it should be conceded to have been written in respectable verse - by no means makes a m, an of letters. And this is strictly an amateur performance. One, it is true, into which I have put considerable effort, it having occupied a large part of the little leisure I have had for a number of years. And it has helped to while away many an otherwise sad and lonely hour. If it shall do as much for my readers, even in the aggregate, it will not have been written in vain. My motives have been, to produce a readable story, that somebody might get interested in, and also to put on record some phases of social and religious life in rural New England a half century ago, which have since disappeared, or are now rapidly passing away. My language is commonplace and familiar. I have made free use of the pronouns I and you, both as a matter of convenience and a matter of choice; as it seems to bring writer and reader somewhat nearer together, and so into closer sympathy with each other, provided the writing be such as shall tend to attract rather than to repel.
