Innocents : A Story for Lovers

By: Sinclair Lewis

The author calls this "a story for lovers" "a tale for people who still read Dickens and clip out spring poetry and love old people and children." (Introd.) "The Innocents" is the story of the later years of Mr and Mrs Seth Appleby, who, though they were born in New York City, and had lived there upward of sixty years. were "rustic as a meadow-ringed orchard." After their daughter has married a prosperous drugist in a small New York town, "Father," who has been a clerk for many years in Pilking's shoestore on Sixth avenue decides to give up his Job, and, with the heip of "Mother," opens a tea-room in an old farm house on the cliffs at Grimsby Head, Cape Cod. Why the venture fails. how the old couple take to the open road and how they finally make a place for themselves in Lipsittsville, Indiana; instead of living with their eminently respectable daughter who is always trying to make them over, is sympathetically told by Sinclair Lewis.
