Stories gathered from the famous American author Sarah Orne Jewell. Jewell was born into a middle-class family in New York in 1849. She began her medical studies in 1867 but they were interrupted due to health problems. In 1870 Sarah married and took up residence in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Here she completed her medical training and became a well-respected doctor. Over her lifetime she wrote 20 novels, 1 short story collection, and over 100 short stories about tough realities of life, family ties, relationships between men, women, friendship and privacy. Her stories are emotional and poignant. Many of her short stories, including The Country Doctor described in this book, are often read at the tenth grade level. This collection includes both serialised stories published in magazines as well as sketch stories which appear in newspapers and were never published separately. Representative titles include "Punch", "True Tales from nurses' Parlors" and "The Country Doctor".
