Lydia of the Pines (1917)
by Honoré Willsie, illustrated by Eric Pape
Chapter 1

New York, Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1917.

Lydia of the Pines seems to me, despite its catchpenny title, an American novel of uncommon merit. It is a romance of girlhood, of schoolgirlhood even, which quite escapes silliness on the one hand and goody-goodiness on the other.... an excellent story of a human and lovable girl learning to be a woman. Its style, especially in the dialogue, is uncommonly sincere, the real vernacular, without exaggeration or codification. —The Bookman, April 1917. (Full review on the Discussion page.)
