=The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife= Illustrated
“Reading it is like having the entry into a home of the class that is the proudest product of our land, a home where love of books and love of nature go hand in hand with hearty, simple love of ‘folks.’... It is a charming book.”--_The Interior._
“The whole book is delicious, with its wise and kindly humor, its just perspective of the true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people and customs, and its healthy optimism for the great world in general.”--_Philadelphia Evening Telegraph._
“The book is worth reading. It will cause discussion. It is an interesting fictional presentation of an important modern question, treated with fascinating feminine adroitness.”--MISS JEANNETTE GILDER in the _Chicago Tribune_.
“Her little pictures of country life are fragrant with a genuine love of nature, and there is fun as genuine in her notes on rural character.”--_New York Tribune._
“This volume is simply the best she has yet put forth, and quite too deliciously torturing to the reviewer, whose only garden is in Spain.... The delightful humor which pervaded the earlier books, and without which Barbara would not be Barbara, has lost nothing of its poignancy.”--_Congregationalist._
“A little vacation from the sophistication of the commonplace.”--_Argonaut._
“A rainbow romance, ... tender yet bracing, cheerily stimulating ... its genial entirety refreshes like a cooling shower.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._

=The Doctor’s Christmas Eve= _Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
“Kentucky in its rural aspects and with its noble men and women forms the scenery for this romance of quaintness and homeliness which lovingly interprets the career of a country doctor who has lost faith in life but not in ideals. Incidentally the author has interpreted the new spirit of American childhood in its relation to the miracles and legends and lore of other lands and older times, which have through the centuries gathered about the great Christmas festival of the Nativity.”--_New York Times._
“What so many have so long hoped Mr. Allen would do he has accomplished in this work, namely, a description of Kentucky and the bluegrass farms as seen by a youngster.”--_New York American._
