EPUB · 169 KB · Project Gutenberg #11309

A quiet wooded hill becomes a development of macadamized streets and bad architecture, and Bangs follows the families who move in: a church organ’s strange adventures, a doctor’s ingratitude, a man who sells books, the valour of Brinley, and other mishaps of commuting, building and neighbourly rivalry.

Light American humour from around 1900, illustrated in the original by Charles Dana Gibson. Download the free EPUB.
