It is a charming story , in which the author has delineated character as carefully , and with as keen an artistic sense , as if she had been writing a novel . Her book is a novel , indeed , with children and the lives of children , instead of men and women and their lives , for its theme . '' -- New York Evening Post .

NELLY 'S SILVER MINE . BY H. H. With Illustrations . 16mo , cloth . Price $ 1.50 . `` The sketches of life , especially of its odd and out-of-the-way aspects , by H. H. always possess so vivid a reality that they appear more like the actual scenes than any copy by pencil or photograph . They form a series of living pictures , radiant with sunlight and fresh as morning dew . In this new story the fruits of her fine genius are of Colorado growth , and though without the antique flavor of her recollections of Rome and Venice , are as delicious to the taste as they are tempting to the eye , and afford a natural feast of exquisite quality . '' -- N. Y. Tribune . `` This charming little book , written for children 's entertainment and instruction , is equally delightful to the fathers and mothers . It is life in New England , and the racy history of a long railway journey to the wilds of Colorado . The children are neither imps nor angels , but just such children as are found in every happy home . The pictures are so graphically drawn that we feel well acquainted with Rob and Nelly , have travelled with them and climbed mountains and found silver mines , and know all about the rude life made beautiful by a happy family , and can say of Nelly , with their German neighbor , Mr. Kleesman , ` Ach well , she haf better than any silver mine in her own self . ' '' -- Chicago Inter-Ocean . `` In ` Nelly 's Silver Mine ' Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson has given us a true classic for the nursery and the school-room , but its readers will not be confined to any locality .
Its vivid portraiture of XXXXX life and its truth to child-nature give it a charm which the most experienced can not fail to feel .
