Excerpt from The Little Red Shop The old house on Cherryfield high road, back of the row of stiff poplars, with its queer little gnarled apple-trees at the back, looked for all the world just as it did one hundred years ago. It had more paint on it w than when the children's grandfather took home his young bride who thought it the most beautiful place in all the world to begin housekeeping in. Then it was a dingy yellow, with faded green blinds; and w the same forlorn attempt at coloring greeted all passers-by. To be sure it had been painted many times in the interim, but always the same hue was chosen, so that to the oldest inhabitant it was the best kwn landmark for miles around. The Brimmer Place was kwn too, for something else than its antiquity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
