Or a Girl without a Home. By Mrs. R. H. READ. With 6 full-page
Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._
The story of a friendless orphan girl, who is placed as pupil-teacher
at the school in which she was educated, but is suddenly removed by
hard and selfish relatives, who employ her as a menial as well as a
governess. Through a series of exciting adventures she makes
discoveries respecting a large property which is restored to its
rightful owners, and at the same time she secures her escape from her
persecutors. The character of Dora is a very sweet one, and the
interest of the story is so sustained that it can scarcely fail to
please the reader.
"One of the most pleasing stories for young people that we have met
with of late years. There is in it a freshness, simplicity, and
naturalness very engaging."--_Harper's Magazine._
"It is no slight thing, in an age of rubbish, to get a story so
pure and healthy."--_The Academy._
"The heroine is a beautiful character, well conceived and well
portrayed. The tale is a fascinating one."--_Schoolmistress._
"Mrs. Read has succeeded in writing an exciting tale. The character
of Dora is one which every girl would do well to imitate."--_The
Schoolmaster._
