_A Maid at King Alfred's Court_

_By Lucy Foster Madison Illustrated by Ida Waugh_

This is a strong and well told tale of the 9th century. It is a
faithful portrayal of the times, and is replete with historical
information. The trying experiences through which the little heroine
passes, until she finally becomes one of the great Alfred's family,
are most entertainingly set forth. Nothing short of a careful study of
the history of the period will give so clear a knowledge of this
little known age as the reading of this book.

her father are united and his liberty is restored to him.
