A Bookful of Girls (Illustrated Edition)

This book is filled to the brim with six short stories about young women and overflowing with innocent mischief and fun. Madge, and Patty, Blythe and Olivia are at that "betwixt and between" age when the great questions are how high up the hair should go, and just how much boot-top should be left below the skirt. The highly readable tales range from a cruise ship voyage to bringing a family back together by inviting an estranged grandfather to Thanksgiving dinner.

This edition of the book contains the six original illustrations, rejuvenated, and four additional illustrations of young women's fashions that are unique to this edition of the book.
