Harriet Beecher Stowe on the small faults that spoil a home. The little foxes of her title are the everyday irritations, fretfulness, intolerance, and inattention, that quietly eat away at family happiness. With warmth and gentle humor, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin shows how tending the small things saves the large ones. A wise, affectionate classic on domestic life for anyone who wants a happier, kinder household.
