"_Everybody was in love with 'Little Lord Fauntleroy,' and I think all
the world and the rest of mankind will be in love with 'Sara Crewe.' The
tale is so tender, so wise, so human, that I wish every girl in America
could read it, for I think every one would be made better by it._"

blindly trying to guess the riddle of duty under these unfamiliar

_FROM SUSAN COOLIDGE:_
"The pretty tale from which the book borrows its name has for its
heroine a little French girl brought up in an old chateau in Normandy,
by an aunt who is a recluse and _devote_. A child of this type,
transplanted suddenly while still in childhood to the realistic
atmosphere of prosperous New York, must inevitably have much to suffer.
She is puzzled; she is lonely; she has no one to direct her conscience.
The quaint little figure, blindly trying to guess the riddle of duty
under these unfamiliar conditions, is pathetic, and Mrs. Burnett touches
it in with delicate strokes. The stories are prettily illustrated by
Birch."
