Synopsis
Excerpt from At You-All's House: A Missouri Nature Story
The difference between Miss Jewett's New England farmer and Miss Murfree's Tennes see mountaineer cannot be explained unless one takes into account those differences of natural environment which, in the end: find expression in moral and social conditions.
Mr. Baskett has run the thread of the love story told in these pages through rural experi ences of many kinds, in the hope of bringing before the imagination the world Of Missouri farm life, and of illustrating some of those ways of human helpfulness which make for the increase of knowledge as well as of hap piness. In such a study the imagination can not rest in the mere knowledge of natural facts, but passes on to those ultimate ideas which not only ennoble but interpret human life. If, in this process, Nature becomes more spiritual and comprehensible, faith in the great spiritual verities will be deepened without the loss Of any element Of interest from the story.
