A Little Maid of Boston Town
By MARGARET SIDNEY
=12mo Cloth Illustrated by FRANK T. MERRILL $1.50=
[Illustration]
The opening chapters introduce us to old Boston in England. Margaret
Sidney went there in 1907 and absorbed the atmosphere of Cotton
Mather’s “St. Botolph’s Town,” gathering for herself facts and
traditions. Then “St. Botolph’s Town” yields its scenic effects, and
the setting of the story is changed to Boston Town of New England.
The story is absorbing, graphic, and truly delightful, carrying one
along till it seems as if actual participation in the events had been
the lot of the reader. The same naturalness that is so conspicuous in
her famous “Pepper Books” marks this latest story of Margaret Sidney’s.
She makes characters live and speak for themselves.
It is an inspiring, patriotic story for the young, and contains
striking and realistic pictures of the times with which it
deals.--_Sunday School Magazine, Nashville._
The author presents a story, but she gives a veracious picture
of conditions in the town of Boston during the Revolution.
Parents who are seeking wholesome books can place this in the
front rank with entire safety.--_Boston Globe._
Surely Margaret Sidney deserves the gratitude of many a child,
and grown-ups, too, for that matter, in telling in so charming,
yet, withal, so simple a manner, of these early days in this
country.--_Utica Observer._
A really thrilling tale of the American Revolution. Interesting
for both old and young.--_Minneapolis Journal._
