Ten Girls from Dickens (Esprios Classics): Illustrated by George Alfred Williams

Kate Dickinson Sweetser (1870-1939) was an American author known in her time for writing juvenile fiction and compilations. She was born in New York City to Charles H. and Mary N. Sweetser. Her great-grandfather Samuel Dickinson was one of the founders of Amherst College in Massachusetts; she was also the cousin of poet Emily Dickinson. As a companion volume to Ten Boys from Dickens this book of girl-life portrayed by the great author is offered. The sketches have the same underlying motive as those of boy-life and have been compiled in the same manner with the same purpose in view.
