520 ‡a"Though written in the form of a story to be read and enjoyed, the opening of Overhead is somewhat curious, in that the protagonist, Harry, is sent away to the country for the sake of his health, his mother concerned that he is too studious and spending too much time reading books! Indeed the Doctor issues the dire warning to not 'let him take a single book for six months, or you lose him' (p. 9). Perhaps not the most sensible advice to give as the author of a novel! Harry, his sister Nelly, and their chaperone Miranda Roseberry, a teacher, are sent away to New Hampshire. Through their outdoor adventures, and the conversations that ensue, the children ultimately learn more about the stars, the heavens above them, and the work of such noted astronomers as Newton, Copernicus, and Brahe, than they would by studying, in the words of a contemporary review of the book, 'a dry text-book'." -- Antiquarian bookseller's description.
