In "The Bent Twig" Dorothy Canfield portrays several American types, and in particular unfolds the life story of a typical American girl. The enviroment of a Middle Western State University forms the background against which the major part of the picture is etched, and all who recall the profession career of the author's father, Dr. James H. Canfield, in the Universities of Kansas, Nebraska, and Ohio, will have little hesitation in identifying certain passages in "Professor Marshall's" academic experiences. Chiefly, however, it is the influence of her mother's personality on Sylvia "bends the twig" and furnishes the real motive of the tale. It is a thoroughly good motive and the product is a wholesome, entertaining book.
