Overall a Good + copy. Number 10 in the star series by Warne and is undated but The British Library cites this as 1887. The title page states 'By the author of The Wide Wide World, Daisy etc' which were also published by the American author, Susan Bogert Warner (1819-1885), under her pseudonym of Elizabeth Wetherell. This novel is her second work first published in 1852 and was very popular in America and England and follows a similar theme as Wide Wide World of a young girl's development from childhood to marriage finding her religion as her strength in life.
