Entertaining throughout. Sweet, sentimental stories that harken us back to a time long ago. If you enjoy turn of the century tales chock full of wonderful details, and empathy for life at that time, you will be pleased. Has a slow but steady pace. Ahab's Wife would be a great companion book to this. Recommend. Flows quickly.

From the back cover:

First published in 1896, The Country of the Pointed Firs has grown in reputation and readership and has now achieved recognition as a classic of American Literature. This edition of the novel also includes the four "dunnet Landing" stories that properly belong with The Country of the Pointed Firs: "A Dunnet Shepherdess," "The Foreigner," "The Queen's Twin," "William's Wedding," and four more tales: "A White Heron," "Miss Tempy's Watchers," "Martha's Lady," and "Aunt Cynthy Dallet."
