The third and concluding “Brenda” book, in which student life at Radcliffe is described. A remarkably real and fascinating story of a college girl’s career, excelling in interest Miss Reed’s first “Brenda” book, of which the Congregationalist said: “Equal to the best of the recent books of school life about boys. Lively and amusing, revealing a shrewd understanding of girl nature.”
ANNA CHAPIN RAY’S
“TEDDY” STORIES
TEDDY: HER BOOK
A Story of Sweet Sixteen
Illustrated by Vesper L. George. 12mo. $1.50
The girls of sweet sixteen owe Anna Chapin Ray a debt of gratitude. No other writer, of recent years at least, has given such complete expression to the comprehensiveness of the complex character of the modern girl of that age. The story is charmingly told and thoroughly wholesome.—Denver Times.
PHEBE: HER PROFESSION
A Sequel to “Teddy: Her Book”
Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill. 12mo. $1.50
Miss Ray’s work draws instant comparison with the best of Miss Alcott’s: first, because she has the same genuine sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because she creates real characters, individual and natural, like the young people one knows, actually working out the same kind of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is equally unaffected and straightforward. She builds upon clearly thought-out convictions, and the influence of the book will be wholly for good, tending toward a sane, wholesome view of life generally. There is a deal of fun in it too.—Christian Register, Boston.
