The Wide Awake Girls in Winsted (Esprios Classics) Paperback / softback

Description

Books for girls are frankly suggestive, their value lying in their kindling power.

Among the girls of all sorts who may read this story, there will be, here and there, one who loves right words.

It is for the sake of such an occasional reader that the poems mentioned have been included.

The schools sometimes lead their pupils to believe that English literature, like Latin, belongs to the past.

But there are, here and now, "musicians of the word" who, partly because they are living, can touch our hearts as none of the dead-and-gone ones can.

If through these pages some girl finds her way to the little green volume of Singing Leaves, or the sweet stories of Daphne and King Sylvaine and Queen Aimee, Catherine Smith and her friends will have done the world of girls a service worth the doing.
