There is a peculiar pleasure in keeping company with a thoughtful writer, especially one who never hurries his reader nor mistakes noise for wisdom. Charles Dudley Warner possessed that rare gift. Whether wandering through a garden, journeying abroad, recalling the delights of boyhood, or casting a kindly but discerning eye upon the follies of his age, he writes with wit, grace, and quiet good sense.

In this library you will find his works read in full, unabridged and unhurried, just as they were written to be enjoyed. Come for a chapter on a peaceful evening, or linger through an entire volume. You may discover that observations penned more than a century ago still bloom as freshly as a well-tended garden.

If you have not yet made Mr. Warner's acquaintance, step inside. If you have, you will find an old friend waiting by the fireside.
