Excerpt: ... pasture to old Skinner, and he's put his bull in there. You will have to watch your chance when the old critter is out, to pick your berries." "All right," cried Peace, expressing her elation by hopping about on one foot. "It's awfully nice of you to give us the berries you don't care to pick yourself, and we will see that the bull doesn't bother." She was half way across the field by the time she had finished speaking, eager to tell the good news to the girls; and before the dew was dry on the grass the next morning, three sunbonneted figures scampered down the road to Mr. Hartman's lower pasture, armed with big pails and Allee's red wagon, intent on picking all the berries they could for Faith's jelly. "We'll have to leave Allee's cart outside the fence," said Peace, climbing the high rails with astonishing agility and dropping nimbly down on the other side. "Do you see the Skinflint's bull anywhere?" "No," answered Cherry, taking a careful survey of the field from her perch on the top rail. "There isn't a thing stirring."

This review might be biased as the weathered old book I own, had belonged to my mother growing up. In the 50-60s, mom read this book to her four children... over and over.
