Ponkapog Papers
Aldrich's essays here move through whatever caught his attention — literary gossip, travel, the specific irritations of being a public man of letters — with the light, conversational tone of someone writing mostly to amuse himself and, incidentally, his readers.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich published Ponkapog Papers in 1903, named for Ponkapoag, Massachusetts, where he kept a country home.
Bibliomancer publishes the 1903 text exactly as Thomas Bailey Aldrich wrote it.
