Happy Pollyooly. The Rich Little Poor Girl

Edgar Jepson

Happy Pollyooly: The Rich Little Poor Girl is a bride story. Jepson continues the story of his twelve year-old heroine, Mary Bride, known as Pollyooly. She is still acting as housekeeper to the Honorable John Ruffin, keeping his rooms spotlessly clean and grilling his bacon to the right turn. John Ruffin gets a windfall that enables him to take a seaside holiday. He takes Pollyooly and her brother along with him. Twice in the course of the story she is called to act the part of Lady Marion Ricksborough, the little peeress whom she so remarkably resembles, and in the second instance is instrumental in effecting a reconciliation between the duke and duchess, Lady Marions father and mother.

Thelma

Marie Corelli

A love story written by someone who was touched by the beautiful scenery of Norway, as evidenced by the detailed descriptions of the place.

New Arabian Nights

Robert Louis Stevenson

In the collection New Arabian Nights, the descriptions of the adventures of the fantastic prince of Bohemia are replaced by the mysterious atmosphere of the Pavilion on the Hill, vivid pictures of medieval France give way to the real facts of the series of villainous murders that formed the basis of the horror story The Thief of Corpses. And, as always with Stevenson, the reader will be pleased with a tense entertaining plot, picturesque figurativeness of speech, and a refined style. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for children of middle and senior school age.
