Jessica's First Prayer and Jessica's Mother

The incidents are well contrived to bring out the points it is designed to illustrate; some of the characters are drawn with great skill; there is much freshness in the whole narrative, and frequent touches of pathos and beauty which irresistibly win their way to the heart. Altogether, it is the most charming book of its kind which we have met for some time. The Fern family lived peaceably in their hollow for two generations.
