161 pages, Hardcover -- Approx. size: 6.75" by 5.25"
Late 19th century Little Prudy story, by the author known as the "Dickens of the nursery".
Little Prudy's Cousin Grace departs from Maine, and rather graces over the pastures of Indiana, wherein the plot develops quickly in the form of a pact among girls. A secret pact, dear reader, and you, you, shall be privy to these proceedings without Grace, Cassy, Isa, Mahla and the rest of the schoolhouse girls ever knowing. They are sworn, I will tell you that much, sworn as the Princesses of the Ruby Seal, in the Ruby Seal Society! It is all rather too much frolic and delight for me to relate; Sophie May, thankfully, is one of those rare storytellers who can delight even across centuries.
This book is in very nice shape for the age. Slightly bumped corners and very minor signs of handling. Embossed covers with colorful red and white against the green cloth. No writings. Very clean and nice.
Please let me know if you have any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking.
