Recollections of Auton House

"Recollections of Auton House" is a nostalgic memoir by Augustus Hoppin, offering a humorous and affectionate look back at his childhood experiences in and around a grand old New England home known as Auton House. With vivid anecdotes, quirky characters, and playful sketches (some by the author himself), the book captures the charm and eccentricities of 19th-century domestic life.
Through episodes of mischief, games, schoolroom adventures, and memorable family members, Hoppin paints a lively picture of youth, tradition, and the changing times in rural America. The tone is warm and gently satirical, celebrating both the innocence and absurdities of growing up.
"Recollections of Auton House" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1883.
