Or "Peggy Pepper-Pot." By Esmé Stuart. With 4 full-page Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s. 6d.
A pleasing narration of the failures of Peggy Fenwick, who, before her sixteenth birthday, had to assume the responsible position of head of her father's house. The story abounds in capitally told domestic adventures; and while it has an excellent moral purpose, it is brimful of fun.
"Esmé Stuart may be commended for producing a girl true to real life, who will put no nonsense into young heads."—Graphic.
"There is not a dull page in it; while it is graphically written and abounds in touches of genuine humour and innocent fun."—Freeman.

"The most exciting of them all."—The Times.
"A bright genial story, which boys will thoroughly enjoy."—Birmingham Post.
