"It simply throbs with warm-hearted human nature, and ripples with irresistible humor. In brief, it is one of the most charming tales of child life, together with the life of grown-ups that we have ever read." — N. Y. Tribune
Elizabeth Ann, or Betsy, had been so coddled and "understood" by Aunt Frances that she had never thought out anything for herself in her nine years. Then Betsy was transported to the Putney Farm where little girls were expected to act and think for themselves. How Betsy grew into a rosy self-reliant little girl and had lots of fun as well makes the story. The undercurrent of suggestions in child training and education gives the book an appeal to older readers as well.
***
This e-book edition also contains ten illustrations by Ada C. Williamson.
