註釋

Here is a generous helping of Kenneth Roberts selected from his novels and essays. Filled with drama, action, humor, satire, and intimate conversation pieces, it is a Reader to delight the most cosmopolitan taste. Included in these twenty-six excerpts are vivid scenes and episodes from those great novels Northwest Passage, Oliver Wiswell, and Arundel, each complete in itself. There are also amusing, biting essays, from Trending into Maine and For Authors Only, as well as a chapter on tonsillectomy warranted to bring tears to the eyes of anyone, doctor, nurse, or patient, who has ever been in a hospital anywhere. The study of divining rods-- "Experiments with a Forked Twig"-- is here published for the first time in book form. A collection of superlative reading, this is a book for all who enjoy good, absorbing writing as well as for the Roberts collector -- Book jacket.
