WHEN GRANDMAMMA WAS NEW
The Story of a Virginia Girlhood in the Forties
By Marion Harland 12mo Illustrated Price $1.25
The BOSTON JOURNAL says:
"If only one might read it first with the trained enjoyment of the 'grown-up' mind that is 'at leisure from itself,' and then if one might withdraw into ten-year-old-dom once more and seek the shadow of the friendly apple-tree, and revel in it all over again, taste it all just as the child tastes, and find it luscious! For this book has charm and piquancy. And it is in just this vivid remembrance of a child's mental workings, in just the avoidance of all 'writing down' to the supposed level of a child's mind, that this story has its rare attractiveness. It is bright, winsome, and magnetic."
The INTERIOR, Chicago, says:
"'Grandmamma' may have charmed other folks,—has charmed them all, incontrovertibly,—but she has never tried harder to be vivid and dramatic and entertaining, and to leave a sweet kernel of application, withal, than in these memory-tales of a sunny childhood on a big Virginia plantation. It is a book which will delight, not children alone, but all such as have the child heart and a tender memory of when they were 'new.'"
