A classic and charming book first published in 1873, this is a collection of poems written on the farm about families, love, death, money, nature and the out-of-doors with equally charming illustrations. The book was the number one bestseller in its publication year.
As one can surmise from the title, this book is a collection of ballads inspired by life in the rural regions. More than two dozen titles are featured here, including 'Johnny Rich', 'Uncle Sammy', 'Our Army of the Dead', and 'Apples Growing'. Here's an excerpt from 'Johnny Rich': "Raise the light a little, Jim / For it's getting rather dim / And, with such a storm a-howlin', 'twill not do to douse the glim / Hustle down the curtains, Lu."
