The folks at Mason's Corner are just folks, same as folks anywhere, but they lead lives that are more interesting than one might think. And they have discussions about more things than one might think. There's goings - on and a problem or two to solve . and maybe some folks will learn about pride and the importance of neighbors and the importance of a man's good work (Mr. Sawyer owns a Grocery Business). This is a charming period novel from Edwardian times. Lovely vintage cover on this book, featuring a picture of a man driving an old open-top touring car. The author, Charles Felton Pidgin, divided his time inventing statistical tabulating machines, researching Aaron Burr, and writing novels. ******************************* TITLE : The Further Adventures of Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason's Corner Folks / AUTHOR : Charles Felton Pidgin (1844-1923) / ILLUSTRATIONS : Henry Roth / IMPRINT : Grosset & Dunlap / PLACE : New York / DATE : No date (©1909) / EDITION : Reprint [This issue is a later printing, circa 1910 - 1915] / STATUS : OP Out of Print / PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Trade Hardcover; contains the author's brief Preface and 4 half-tone plate illustrations in black-and-white (including frontispiece); ; x + 385 pages plus four pages of publisher's list; approximately 5 1/8" x 7 1/2" (12mo); light gray-brown ribbed cloth with pictorial paste-down on front board; title, etc. lettered in black on spine; front paste-down has title & author lettered in soft brownish-creme A man is driving an open top , green touring car on a road that winds along a sea-side cliff.
