- From Book Review Digest, 1934: Old Farm is an idyllic spot; a place were romance can bloom; a place where a city boy headed in the wrong direction can be straightened out; a place where wrongdoers can be caught; a place where love's least likely plans can come true. It's the place where a happy family lives, works and prospers; where an innocent and imaginative little nine-year-old girl called Dood wins a spelling bee, catches a thief, rescues a kidnapped child, and mends a romance or two or three, all with bewitching naiveté?. The author projects a child's perspective as she tenderly relates the story of an exciting season on a bountiful and nostalgically described farm located near Bushnell in Western Illinois in the 1870s. Old Farm is enjoyable reading, if implausible and square by today's standards.

The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth is presented as a true account of the Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen and explains how Jansen's sloop sailed through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole. It is notable as an early story about an underground civilization.
For two years Jansen lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who were a full 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden.
