| Summary | "The Sandman: His Farm Stories" by William John Hopkins is a children’s collection of farm tales written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventures of a boy named Little John as he engages in various farming activities alongside his family members, primarily Uncle John and Uncle Solomon. The stories vividly illustrate the rural life on a farm, encompassing themes of nature, family, and agriculture, particularly as they relate to animals and the land. The opening of the book sets the stage for the delightful narratives that follow, introducing readers to the farm setting where Little John resides. The stories feature simple, descriptive prose that captures the everyday tasks and challenges on the farm, such as fetching water with oxen, collecting apples, and caring for cows. Through Little John’s perspective, readers experience the charm of farm life, as well as the strong bonds between family members and the simple joys of nature.
