Book Description
Excerpt from The Magnet Stories for Summer Days and Winter Nights Golden autumn, with its broad dashes of orange and crimson, thrown in amid the fading green of the foliage, now painted the landscape; and all along our river-side shores, and far inland amongst our thorpes and granges there was a rustling of Harvest, and tawny reapers wielding their crooked sickles in the sun-browned corn-fields. Many a picturesque village stood with its thatched cottages empty and silent, for even the very poorest, who lacked employment at other seasons of the year, had now gone forth - like the Ruth of old - to glean, and taken their children with them to keep them out of harm's way, and help to gather up a few straggling ears of com; for it was the harvest-time of the poor as well as the rich.
