C. A. Stephens' classic tale of old country life in Maine, New England during the late 19th century is brought to reader in this edition which includes the original illustrations. Steeped in nostalgia for an America long since departed, this novel is full of the virtues and sights common to American country life before modern inventions such as the motor car and the telephone made their appearance. Family values underpin the entire society, with the land around the Old Squire's Farm vividly described as quiet and rural. Sometimes likened to diaries for their episodic structure, the stories of C. A. Stephens remain as pleasant and enlightening today as they ever were. The family depicted in this book have experienced tragedy; the fathers of the children of the story having perished in the American Civil War, hence it being just the children and their grandparents. As well as being a good and wholesome story, When Life Was Young at the Old Farm in Maine provides a glimpse at life in the rural United States during a much simpler and more pastoral era. The children enjoy their adventures in the country, experiencing events such as the cattle show, a trip to the village photographer, and fishing in the local water holes, while their grandparents are eager to teach them to grow up to be responsible adults.
