The Gentleman Ragman, by Wilbur Mes
bit. Harper & Brothers, publishers
This is a quaint delightful tale told by
q boy but carrying with quiet philoso-
ply. fine vein of humor and studies
of human nature in an inland village
that make the work altogether charm
ing. To the newspaper critic, the char
acter of Eli Bashford the country editor
appeals with special force, but the hero
the ''Emigger," as the boy narrator calls
him, evolves q plot in his own career
est. In a way, the book is a series of
sketches from real life in a small town:
real life because every one who has seen
such town as is described has met the
originals of Orphena. the village poetess:
Oscar Ferguson, the boy detective; John
n.y. Thompson, the printers devil who
tells the story; Squire Miller. and all the
other personages of the. rural drama
Such people and such a plot in its es-
sentials might easily be turned up in
any of the smaller towns of Indiana or
Ohio along the southern border; and the
very naturalness of the depletion is the
charm of Mr. Nesbits work. Some in
imitable touches color the narrative anu
add to its Zest, such, for instance, as the
little story of the way Plainviile took the
s'barefoot cure" under Orphenas guild
ance: how the ThompsOns bought clothes
for Johnny and his father; the picture
of the boys at the swimming hole-these
and a number OF others carry with them
the touch of real life, of things out of
ones own experience, that mark the
book as an admirable work. There is a
strong climax, a genuinely fine love story
and lust enough of the tragic finale dra-
matic-as it should be.
