The Manuscripts of F. J. Savile Foljambe, of Osberton (1897)

This is a story about the life of a young girl being raised by her grandmother in the beautiful West Virginia hills. The time is the 1940s, and while it is a simpler time, the peopleas joys and sorrows are much the same as today. The author tells an unflinchingly honest and sometimes humorous story about the people and events in a small rural community. Her insight and homespun philosophy, told in straightforward prose, make this a delightful story for her readers.
