A popular author of her day, she wrote over 100 novels and numerous short stories of religious and Christian fiction. Her characters were most often young female ingénues, frequently strong Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story.
I enjoyed the book but it was very slow reading. I suppose that is because there are four novels total and the print on each page is very small. The middle two novels were the best. The first one was very short and the fourth one was hard to read because of the content. It made me sad and I didn't like the ending. But it was a worthy read.
These are simple, wholesome novels - the stories are entertaining, the morals strong - yet the writing is a little too flowery, too archaic in some ways. I did enjoy these charming tales, though.
