Produktbeschreibung
A sparkling invitation to a bygone classroom and a brighter future. A Bevy Of Girls gathers steady heart, quick wit, and small adventures into a single, shimmering set of tales. This is more than a collection of juvenile short stories. It offers a window into late Victorian England through the eyes of schoolroom friends, where friendship and manners, sisterly relationships, and everyday courage shape character. The anthology of tales blends charm with instruction, delivering warm, accessible narratives for young readers and for classroom use alike. Readers encounter ordinary girls facing ordinary trials, finding solidarity and resolve in camaraderie, mischief managed, and lessons learned. Historically, the book sits within a revered lineage of classic girls literature and public domain classics that helped inform generations of readers. Its revival by project gutenberg and Alpha Editions honours a tradition of careful preservation, making it a tangible link to the past while speaking with contemporary clarity. The volume stands as a touchstone for collectors and casual readers who treasure authentic period voice, elegant moral nuance, and a sense of cultural memory intact. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is more than a reprint. It is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's generations and for the many that will discover it tomorrow, a heritage legible and alive for the next century.
Autorenporträt
Writing under the name L. T. Meade, Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1844-1914) wrote a lot of stories for girls. Her father was the Rev. R. T. Meade of Nohoval, County Cork, and she was born in Bandon, County Cork. After that, she went to London and got married to Alfred Toulmin Smith there in September 1879. She started writing when she was 17 years old and finished over 280 books during her lifetime. In fact, eleven new books with her name on them came out in the first few years after she died, showing how productive she was. Most people knew her for her books for kids. The most popular was A World of Girls, which came out in 1886. 37,000 versions of A World of Girls were sold, and it had a big impact on school stories for girls in the 20th century. She did, however, write "sentimental" and "sensational" stories, religious stories, historical books, adventure stories, romances, and mysteries, some of which were co-written by men. Dr. Clifford Halifax was the first of these. They worked together for the first time in 1893 and wrote six books together. After a year, she worked with Robert Eustace for the first time and together they published eleven books.
