The books are composed of short vignettes about rural living from the perspective of a city dweller.The contents of these books are essentially Grayson's thoughts on life and advice to others considering moving away from urban area's. The books expertly blend real details from the author's life with fictional characters and events, inserted to maximize the dramatic value and ensure a smooth narrative. Both Adventures in Friendship and Adventures in Contentment are deliberately paced books.. These are books intended to be contemplated as much as they are intended to be read. Baker writes with a dry wit, and expertly mixes humour with profound thinking. Adventures of David Grayson is a pleasant collection of two of Ray Stannard Baker's most beloved books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures in Friendship I belonged to, and he slapped me on the back in the heartiest manner, as though he had known me intimately for a long time. (i may say, in passing, that he was trying to sell me a new kind of corn-planter.) I could not help feeling complimented both complimented and abashed. For I am not a Mason, or an Oddfellow, or an Elk. When I told him so he seemed much sur prised and disappointed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Possessions: A New Series of Adventures It is now ten years since the first of these books, Adventures in Contentment, was published. It was begun, as I have said else where, with no thought of publication but for my own enjoyment, and the writings since that time, for the most part, have grown out of notes set down in little books wherever I chanced to be at the moment - on the roadside, in the woods, or at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures in Contentment The instinctive purpose and aim of the literary craftsman is to write what he is. Whatever form this writing takes, his peculiar ability itself, by a sort of evolutionary power, seeks to reinforce and to further its own purposes by searching for the truthful aspects of the individual in which it is and of which it is. The tendency is to work through the layers of personality and interest down; until finally it has reached the essential and fundamental - the realest person of the group that lives and moves and has its collective being in the one individual. The highest art of writing is to show the native quality of mind; the more striking and unusual the person, the richer the product when, as an artist, he has found the way of naturally showing you what he is. Of course, brains, intelligence, and industry are essential to the mastery of a technique that shall properly, fittingly, and justly be put to the service of the imagination and creative power. Technique is an evolution, and acquirement; in the main, the result of intelligent work and devoted practice, of actual experience and the study of ways of doing things.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Friendly Road: New Adventures in Contentment Until to-day I have not really been quite clear in my own mind as to the step I have taken. My sober friend, have you ever tried to do anything that the world at large con siders not quite sensible, not quite sane? Try it! It is easier to commit a thundering crime. A friend of mine delights in walking to town bareheaded, and I fully believe the neighbourhood is more disquieted thereby than it would be if my friend came home drunken or failed to pay his debts.

Book excerpt: Ray Stannard Baker (April 17, 1870 in Lansing, Michigan - July 12, 1946 in Amherst, Massachusetts)(also known by his pen name David Grayson) was an American journalist, historian, biographer, and author. ADVENTURES IN CONTENTMENT I. "THE BURDEN OF THE VALLEY OF VISION" I came here eight years ago as the renter of this farm, of which soon afterward I became the owner. The time before that I like to forget. The chief impression it left, upon my memory, now happily growing indistinct, is of being hurried faster than I could well travel. From the moment, as a boy of seventeen, I first began to pay my own way, my days were ordered by an inscrutable power which drove me hourly to my task. I was rarely allowed to look up or down, but always forward, toward that vague Success which we Americans love to glorify.
