Praise for The Old Meadow

"Selden's well-loved, diminutive hero Chester Cricket is back...Underneath the story's action and humor lies an eloquent message about the importance of unspoiled nature and of the harmony that can result from shared unselfish endeavors."-Publishers Weekly

"A sure-fire hit."-School Library Journal
