These 18 wonderful short stories by Eleanor H. Porter, the author of Pollyanna, deal with those marvelous and maddeningly frustrating creatures: human beings. As always, Porter describes real people with sensitivity and an insight into all of their variety that makes you say "I knew someone just like that".

Im Laufe der Diskussionen wurde Hebel schließlich Redakteur für den neuen Kalender, der den Namen Rheinländischer Hausfreund trug und erstmals 1807 erschien. Eine der wichtigsten Neuerungen des Hausfreundes war der vergrößerte Textteil, in dem "lehrreiche Nachrichten und lustige Geschichten" veröffentlicht wurden. Hebel selbst verfasste j...
