Sobre este artículo
New York: Hurst & Co, [ca 1903]. Small octavo (19cm). Publisher's pictorial green cloth; dustjacket; 184,[10]pp. Straight, tight and clean, very near to Fine in the original pictorial dustwrapper, lightly soiled and with a few marginal chips; Very Good. In Hurst's "Home Series For Girls."
A typically wholesome girl's book of the period, one of more than 150 similar titles churned out by the enormously prolific Meade (1844-1914) between 1872 and 1915. According to adverts in Publisher's Weekly, this title was originally published in the U.S. by the small publishing firm of Thomas Whittaker in 1897, though we can locate no institutional holdings for that edition. The current edition, issued by the popular New York reprint house of Hurst & Co., is undated; based on rear advertising copy, 1903 is highly probable. In a quite lovely color pictorial binding, depicting a teenaged girl clutching a book to her breast on front cover and reading the same on the spine; jacket art mimics the same design in black and white. Extremely uncommon in dustwrapper.
