THE BESS STREETER ALDRICH READER
By
Wholesome Americana, romance and a strong strain of sentimentality in A Lantern in Her Hand and A White Bird Flying the two novels included in this collection. There are short stories, too, of might-be-true small town stories which should have an appeal to young people -- all about school girls, screen struck, romance in youth, and so on. Readable, absorbing stories with spiritual values and a feeling for the mid-West locale from frontier days on.
