A book doubly remarkable because its excellent workmanship comes from a hand hitherto untried.—New York Times.
Its excellent literary tone, simple, refined, and its frequent humor and fresh, strong interest commend it as a most promising first volume of "The Wide Awake Girls" series.—Hartford Times.
The quiet and cultured home life presented forms a pleasing contrast to the more showy and hollow life of the wealthy and wins the reader by a strong and subtle spell. The whole story is fresh and bracing and full of good points and information as well.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.
THE WIDE AWAKE GIRLS AT WINSTED
Illustrated by Sears Gallagher.
It is another charming book, without sentimentality or gush about the four girls who made such a jolly quartette in the preceding story.—Philadelphia Press.
Incidents are many, and the story is vivaciously told. The tone throughout is refined and the spirit stimulating.—Brooklyn Daily Times.
Those who read the first volume of Katharine Ruth Ellis' "Wide Awake Girls" series last year will welcome the second volume. They will encounter again the same four girls of the previous book, all at Catharine's home in Winsted, and they will find them just as vivacious and entertaining as ever.—Chicago Tribune.
