Excerpt from The Farmer's Boy The boy is the book's chief topic; yet it will be found that the rest Of the family, and, in particular, the girls, receive some share of attention, both in pictures and in text. My hope is that these pages will rouse in such readers as have had the happiness to enjoy similar experiences many pleasant recollections, and that to others the book will furnish entertainment.
