About This Item
London: Persephone Books, 2002. Peraephone edition, book number 37, with original bookmark.

Originally published in 1872 and reprinted with illustrations by Gwen Raverat in 1936, a story written for Victorian children, but, unlike many others from that time, neither pious nor sentimental. The story involves a girl, Clarice, who discovers another girl her own age hiding in her garden. Afterwords by Anne Harvey and Frances Spalding. 223pp, numerous b&w drawings.. Paperback. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Raverat, Gwen. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
