So here is the
book.
It is in no sense to be taken as a story written for a guide-book,
--although the author lives in it again her repeated enjoyment of the
sights and scenes which are accurately depicted. A "Baedeker," if
carefully studied, is really all that is needed as a constant companion
to the traveller; while for supplementary helps and suggestions, there
are many valuable books along the same line. This volume is given up to
the Peppers; and they must live their own lives and tell their own
story while abroad just as they choose.
As the author has stated many times, her part is "simply to set down
what the Peppers did and said, without trying to make them say or do
anything in particular." And so over the ocean they are just as much
the makers of their own history as when they first opened the door of
the "little brown house" to
MARGARET SIDNEY.
