“I thought you might like some chocolates”
They giggled at everything the clown said
Under a large tree in the garden
“Don’t you worry, little girl”
“Now look up at me”
INTRODUCTION
Those who have read “Letty of the Circus” will remember that Letty Grey was a little city girl whose brother was a member of a troupe of acrobats. When it became necessary to help her mother who was ill Letty herself became a member of the troupe and joined them in their performances at a summer resort. One day she bravely saved the lives of two little children, Jane and Christopher, who were threatened by an angry bear. This was the beginning of a warm friendship which is seen ripening in the present book. Letty leaves the circus and finds a new mother, and her sunny nature wins for her many friends. Something more about her will be found in “Letty’s New Home,” “Letty’s Sister,” “Letty’s Treasure,” “Letty’s Good Luck,” “Letty at the Conservatory,” “Letty’s Springtime” and “Letty and Miss Grey.”
