The Bent Twig

""Semi-autobiographical series of incidents in the life of an intellectual American family in the late 19th-early 20th Century as seen by favored daughter, Sylvia Marshall. Her father is an economics professor in a Midwestern state university and she is following in his inquisitive footsteps. Canfield writes this in a matter-of-fact manner with Tarkingtonesque good humor.""--Librivox.com.
