Abstract
This booklet begins with a story by one of the Nelson boys about a horse race won by their character Ethan Allen. The next piece in the booklet is a poem about their home town of Goshen, New Hampshire, written by Elmer Nelson. The third piece, entitled "A Valentine" is unusual for the Nelson brothers because the story is told from a girl's perspective. This unattributed story is followed by a poem by William J. Little about the importance of their work and play in the hay of their grandfather's barn. The booklet ends with a bit of self promotion as the Nelson brothers describe the difficulties of writing as a line of work, but then go on to describe themselves, and their alter egos William Little and Bert (sometimes referred to Birt or Burt) Green, as being among the world's best writers of history and adventure.
