Collection of twelve short stories. The copy I read was a Christmas present, given my aunt in 1938. It is a heavy hardback book with thick pages, illustrated with pencil drawing and three colour plates. The stories all have young female leads - 15, 16, 17 years old. And involve misunderstandings; loyal friends breaking school rules; encounters with crooks during school holidays. There are also two more serious, historical stories. 'Hilary of the Highway' and 'Double-Cherry: A Story of Old Virginia'. Two different aspects of the Jacobite uprising in the 18th Century.
I know nothing of the ten writers represented, all of whom on this evidence, could write enjoyable stories. ( )
