A Humble Romance and Other Stories
A Humble Romance and Other Stories is a collection of short stories first published in 1887. Widely popular upon publication, the stories tell of rural New England folks, mostly women. Each story is engrossing, yet surprising in its simplicity of characters and plot. Far from beautiful heiresses or men on panting steeds, the main characters are mostly old spinsters and sometimes a plain niece or two.

I'm very interested to read this. I was thinking of Sarah Orne Jewett's stories as I read your review.
They are somewhat similar, perhaps in their simplicity. Both are very realistic and not flashy. Jewett's stories have a bit more nostalgic feel to them, aren't as rustic as Wilkins Freeman I think.
