David Grayson was the pen name of Ray Stannard Baker, a journalist who wrote a very successful series of books about the small, peaceful things in life. This series -- "The Adventures of David Grayson," "Adventures in Contentment," etc. -- was designed to bring contentment to the reader by illustrating the beauty of a life in the country lived simply and honestly. As with other volumes in the series, "Adventures in Friendship" is an enchanting and soothing read, and takes the reader back to a time when this kind of life was possible. Highly recommend.
