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.
