TWEEDIE, THE STORY OF A TRUE HEART
By Isla May Mullins
Author of “The Blossom Shop Stories,” etc.
Cloth decorative, 12mo, illustrated, $1.65
In this story Mrs. Mullins has given us another delightful story of the South.
The Carlton family — lovable old Professor Carlton, and his rather wilful daughter Ruth — twentythree years old and with decided ideas as to her future — decide to move to the country in order to have more time to devote to writing.
Many changes come to them while in the country, the greatest of which is Tweedie — a simple, unpretentious little body who is an optimist through and through — but does not know it. In a subtle, amusing way Tweedie makes her influence felt. At first some people would consider her a pest, but would finally agree with the Carlton family that she was “Unselfishness Incarnate.” It is the type of story that will entertain and amuse both old and young.
The press has commented on Mrs. Mullins’ previous books as follows:
“Frankly and wholly romance is this book, and lovable—as is a fairy tale properly told. And the book’s author has a style that’s all her own, that strikes one as praiseworthily original throughout.” — Chicago Inter-Ocean.
“A rare and gracious picture of the unfolding of life for the young girl, told with a delicate sympathy and understanding that must touch alike the hearts of young and old.” — Louisville (Ky.) Times.
