Dear old Templeton really is a dear, and young Sally Templeton, his daughter, is another, and the pair of them agreeably pervade Miss Alice Brown’s new novel, where, too, there are other people we find interesting and their relations with one another no less so. There are also two less satisfactory figures. Elizabeth and her mother we rather wish had been omitted; they are not necessary and do not blend harmoniously into the fabric of the tale. With that reservation—and they are not leading characters—it may be said that “Dear Old Templeton” possesses abundant grace, charm, understanding, and humor, and we should name it without hesitation as one of the best and most pleasing of Miss Brown’s novels.—The Outlook, July 6, 1927
A book of sermons compiled by the author's friends after his death.
