  The best book for girls that has appeared in years; it has all thecharm and sweetness that is contained in "Little Women." It is notmerely a chronicle of events, however, but teaches a valuable lesson.The girls are sweet and lovely and quarrelsome and impulsive, just asevery-day girls are. They have a hard and exciting time, and they fighta battle and win it. It is a charming, wholesome book.
