AUNT JANE

OF KENTUCKY

By ELIZA CALVERT HALL

With Aunt Jane a real personage has come into literature.

In this dear old philosopher in homespun--with her patchwork quilts, which were her albums and diary, and in the midst of her garden, where each "flower was a human thing with a life-story"--we seem to renew acquaintance with a character which each of us has known and loved back in our own gardens of memory.

Where so many have made caricatures of old-time country folk, Eliza Calvert Hall has caught at once the real charm, the real spirit, the real people, and the real joy of living which was theirs.

The Land of Long Ago

"The Land of Long Ago," in which reappears that famous character, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky," is a delightful picture of rural life in the Blue Grass country, showing the real charm and spirit of the old time country folk--a book full of sentiment and kindliness and high ideals. It cannot fail to appeal to every reader by reason of its sunny humor, its sweetness and sincerity, its entire fidelity to life. Aunt Jane with her calm philosophy, her captivating stories, her sweet, womanly ways, is a character that wins the reader at once.
