A Summer in a Canyon

Set in a beautiful California canyon, Camp Chaparral is as glorious as its young inhabitants can make it -- with bedrooms of bright canvas, a game room, and a "sky parlour" high in a tree. Bell, Poly and Margery explore the woods, while their brothers, cousins and friends Geoffrey, Philip and Jack are out fishing and cavorting . . . but Little Dicky! Where has he disappeared -- ? The author of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" offers this charming tale of youth and adventure in the sunny California of a more innocent time.

A Woman Tenderfoot

Theoretically, I have always agreed with the Quaker wife who reformed her husband - "Whither thou goest, I go also, Dicky dear." What thou doest, I do also, Dicky dear. So when, the year after our marriage, Nimrod announced that the mountain madness was again working in his blood, and that he must go West and take up the trail for his holiday, I tucked my summer-watering-place-and-Europe-flying-trip mind away (not without regret, I confess) and cautiously tried to acquire a new vocabulary and some new ideas. Of course, plenty of women have handled guns and have gone to the Rocky Mountains on hunting trips - but they were not among my friends.
