Tarkington’s 1923 collection gathers stories of ordinary American households: a party that goes wrong, a hundred-dollar bill that changes hands, a spring concert, a girl named Jeannette, an only child named Luddie whose mother worries over which housemaid is upstairs. Each is sharp about vanity and kind about people.
Light, expert storytelling from the twice Pulitzer-winning author of The Magnificent Ambersons. Download the free EPUB.
