Oh, Money! Money!
Eleanor Hodgman Porter · 1918
66/100
👎 Skip It
From the author of Pollyanna, this is a wholesome 1918 tale about a rich bachelor who goes undercover as a traveling genealogist to see how sudden wealth changes his distant relatives. It's a sweet, moral story with a free public-domain copy available, though it's a lesser-known Porter title and shows its age in pacing. Fine for classic-fiction fans, but not essential.
