Description: From their initial publication in 1887 until fading from the popular consciousness in the 1930s, Rowland Robinson's enormously popular stories were a staple of Vermont households and classrooms. His tales were treasured as honest and accurate portraits of the life, times, and speech of pre-Civil War Vermont.

This Hardscrabble edition of Danvis Tales presents the best of the original six volumes and reestablishes Robinson (1833-1900) as a serious and thoughtful, funny and loving chronicler of people's lives and the natural world.
Notes: "The definitive source for this abridged edition of Rowland E. Robinson's stories is the seven volumes of the Centennial Edition of his complete work published by Charles E. Tuttle Company of Rutland, Vermont, between 1934 and 1937"--P. ix.
