The stories were originally published in another piece of a bygone America, the Saturday Evening Post. As that wonderful curmudgeon, Cleveland Amory, wrote in his introduction to the 1967 edition:
…they were read by millions—by men of twelve and by boys of eighty. Even mere women loved them—although it goes without saying that those of you who intend to read parts of this volume aloud to your wives should do so sparingly. The moral in many of these stories is so subtle it is beyond the comprehension of all but a handful of women—even those fortunate enough to be blessed with prep school husbands.
These aren't books for everyone; by today's standards they are rather naïve stories, lacking the complexity and sophistication of today's fiction. However, if you are one who enjoys occasionally dipping into what now seems a simpler era, I recommend them. ( )
