Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Smiling Hill-Top and Other California Sketches
On our hill-top there are quantities of wild creatures - quail, rabbits, doves, and ground squirrels and, unfortunately, a number of social outcasts. Never shall I forget an epic incident in our history - the head of the family in pajamas at dawn, in mortal combat with a small black-and white creature, chasing it through the Cloisters with the garden hose. Oh, yes, there is plenty of adventure still left, even though we don't have to cross the prairies in a wagon.
