This little Iowa schoolgirl of eighty years ago completely captured the hearts of America’s leading book critics, and she will yours: “Oh Millersvillel is a collection of juvenilia that no American will want to see pass away. Fern Gravel was the pen-name of a sub-teen authoress whose soul simultaneously exfoliated in and was griped by her Iowa home town, early in the l900’s. Her verses are as good examples of dead-pan lyricism as have ever been printed.”
