Ma Jeeter, a sensible and hearty farm woman, tells the stories of
the courtships of five daughters to the schoolteacher who boards
with her. Ella, Bell, Lena, Laura, and Lizzie all got bitten and
burdened early, thanks to the bumblebee of love. Now her youngest,
Evie, is coming home to be married, and everything is as it should
be.
The Jeeters are based loosely on a funny, goodhearted family
that Dorothy Thomas lived with in her schoolteaching days. H. L.
Mencken, the famed editor, author, and critic, encouraged her to
write these vignettes about them. Original pen and ink drawings by
the author have been added to this edition.
