Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of Old New England Life: Legends of Old Bedford There is a sentiment, so often expressed as to be classed with modern proverbs, that a parent who is a wise disciplinarian, when becoming a grand-parent is over-indulgent. It was the good fortune of the author of this volume to be much in the society of his grand-parents, especially that of his grandmother. After a lapse of time sufficient to remove all sentimental prejudices, he would enter a protest against the commonly accepted belief. It is to his grandmother that the author is indebted for the facts which this volume contains. "Had I the ability, I would prove to the world that truth is stranger than fiction," was an expression of hers that found lodgment in the mind of the writer; and while laying no claims to literary ability, he has tried to clothe a series of truths in a style of dress attractive to readers of all ages, knowing that the adult, at times, is not averse to stories especially adapted to younger readers. The one credited with this series of truths spent her life in the place of her nativity, as did also several generations of her ancestors, she being peculiarly adapted by nature to gather and retain facts which would have faded from other minds.
