About this book
Small habits that wear away happiness at home are the subject of these seven essays, framed as evening readings by a father to his family, with his daughter Jennie asking what he will give them for the winter. The title comes from the verse about the little foxes that spoil the vines, which he takes as a figure for petty, unwatched causes of friction.
The chapters are named Fault-Finding, Irritability, Repression, Persistence, Intolerance, Discourtesy and Exactingness. Harriet Beecher Stowe issued the book under the name Christopher Crowfield, the author credited on her House and Home Papers, with copyright entered in 1865.
