THE LITTLE GREEN DOOR
By MARY E. STONE BASSETT
Eight illustrations by Louise Clarke and twenty-five decorative
half-title pages by Ethel Pearce Clements
12mo Cloth $1.50
A charming romance of the time of Louis XIII. The door which gives the title to the book leads to a beautiful retired garden belonging to the King. In this garden is developed one of the sweetest and tenderest romances ever told. The tone of the book is singularly pure and elevated, although its power is intense.
"This is a tale of limpid purity and sweetness, which, although its action is developed amid the intrigues and deceptions of a corrupt French court, remains fine and delicate to the end. There is power as well as poetry in the little romance, so delicate in conception."—Chicago Daily News.
"Tender, sweet, passionate, pure; a lily from the garden of loves."—Baltimore Herald.
