By Francis Hopkinson Smith

Book Overview

""A Day at Laguerre's and Other Days"" is a collection of nine sketches by F. Hopkinson Smith, published in 1899. The book takes readers on a journey through various locations and experiences, including a day spent at a French restaurant called Laguerre's, a visit to a New England town, and a trip to the Adirondack Mountains. Smith's descriptive writing style brings each of these settings to life, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of each place.
