About This Book

A coming-of-age tale centers on Theodora, a spirited sixteen-year-old whose days alternate between family chores in a modest household and lively neighborhood adventures. She forms a tender friendship with a neighboring boy who lives with chronic pain, offering companionship and practical help while his mother and local doctors tend his care. The narrative traces her small domestic responsibilities, close ties with siblings, and private ambitions—owning a bicycle, attending college, and becoming an author—while depicting community interactions, growing loyalties, and the gentle moral choices that shape her transition toward adulthood.

THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE

BY EVELYN RAYMOND

Author of "The Little Lady of the Horse," "Among

the Lindens," etc.

12mo. Cloth. Illustrated by Victor A. Searles. $1.50

As the title indicates, the country school is the feature of the book which has suggested much of its plot, and the author has woven a delightful narrative, sensible and practical, and at the same time interesting and uplifting, which will be welcomed by the young people.—Congregationalist.


AMONG THE LINDENS

BY EVELYN RAYMOND

Author of "The Little Lady of the Horse," "A Cape May

Diamond," "The Mushroom Cave," "The

Little Red Schoolhouse," etc.

12mo. Cloth. Illustrated by Victor A. Searles. $1.50

The scene of Evelyn Raymond's new story is partly in New York and partly in the country "among the lindens." A poor family is assisted by a wealthy friend in the best possible way,—he helps them to help themselves. The youngest boy is the life of the story, something of an amusing and exceedingly lively nature happening to him every day of his life. The children of the story have faults, but strive to correct them, and have healthy and noble ideals of life and character. There is an exceptionally pleasant, homelike atmosphere about the book.


THE YOUNG PURITANS IN KING PHILIP'S WAR

A sequel to "The Young Puritans of Old Hadley"

BY MARY P. WELLS SMITH

Author of "The Jolly Good Times Series," etc.

12mo. Cloth. Illustrated by L. J. Bridgman. $1.25

This is the second volume in "The Young Puritans Series." The author has made a very careful study of the Colonial life and history of the time. Like the first volume of the series, her attempt to depict the life of Puritan children for young people is closely based on historical facts. These volumes should be read carefully and studied by the children of to-day, recounting, as they do, the hardships endured by their forefathers and foremothers in the settlement of this country, as well as their devotion, high aims, and religious zeal. The third volume of the series will be devoted to "The Young Puritans in Captivity."
