Her father is a lawyer, with an unfashionable propensity for defending Indians; her mother is beautiful and strong-willed; her older sister has a fatal if innocent attraction for boys and men. Her trickster side-kick is Jimmy Roberts, the boy next door. Out of these familiar materials, and Provost's ebullient and harassed mind, emerge some remarkably funny misfortunes, adventures (both child and adult), and a high-spirited account of the recent old West, its small towns, law-courts, and summer camps. Off-beat, cheerful/serious, this book is enjoyable reading for adults or even teen-agers inclined to this sort of humor. (Kirkus Review)
