For those who want their literary history in popular, facile form, these amiable, informal portraits of American writers, based on a series of visits to the authors' homes, should supply an answer, Brief biographies, expanded from the author's popular lectures and radio talks, in casual, conversational style.

Henry, Jack London, Herman Melville, Louisa May Alcott, Washington Irving, Francis Parkman -- their lives and contributions to American literature. No Flowering of New England this!
