"Main-Travelled Roads" contains eleven stories in this expanded and
revised 1922 edition of an undisputed American classic. "Under the
Lion's Paw" shows an honest, hard-working farmer victimized by a
greedy landlord. Equally powerful is the semi-autobiographical "Up
the Coolly," concerning a successful son who returns from the East
to find his mother and brother trapped on a poor farm, defeated in
spite of their best efforts. "Mrs. Ripley's Trip" is a tender story
of an elderly couple settled in their frugal country ways, with the
wife determined to realize her dream of revisiting childhood
scenes. Although Garland paints no pretty pictures, he offers
exhilarating moments in the lives of these farm people and never
ignores the strength of individual will. William Dean Howells's
introduction to the 1922 edition has been retained.
