ANNA CHAPIN RAY’S “TEDDY” STORIES
Reading edition
TEDDY: HER BOOK A Story of Sweet Sixteen
Illustrated by Vesper L. George. 12mo. $1.50
The girls of sweet sixteen owe Anna Chapin Ray a debt of gratitude. No other writer, of recent years at least, has given such complete expression to the comprehensiveness of the complex character of the modern girl of that age. The story is charmingly told and thoroughly wholesome.—Denver Times.
PHEBE: HER PROFESSION A Sequel to “Teddy: Her Book”
Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill. 12mo. $1.50
Miss Ray’s work draws instant comparison with the best of Miss Alcott’s: first, because she has the same genuine sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because she creates real characters, individual and natural, like the young people one knows, actually working out the same kind of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is equally unaffected and straightforward. She builds upon clearly thought-out convictions, and the influence of the book will be wholly for good, tending toward a sane, wholesome view of life generally. There is a deal of fun in it too.—Christian Register, Boston.
TEDDY: HER DAUGHTER A Sequel to “Teddy: Her Book,” and “Phebe: Her Profession”
Illustrated by J. B. Graff. 12mo. $1.20 net
Introduces a new generation of girls and boys, all well bred and gifted with good manners, takes them through much fun and such adventures as one may find on a small sandy island, and gives the girl a page or two of saving common sense about her duties to boys and her obligation to be true and womanly.—New York Times Saturday Review.
NATHALIE’S CHUM
Illustrated by Ellen Bernard Thompson. 12mo. $1.20 net
A new volume by the author of “Teddy: Her Book,” is pronounced by those who have read it the most delightful she has yet written. “Teddy,” “Babe,” “Dr. McAlister,” and several other favorite characters in the previous books reappear, together with an orphan family of New York.
