21. American Girls Handy Book: How to Amuse Yourself and Others (Nonpareil Books)
by: Lina Beard, Adelia Beard Release date: Sep 01, 1994 Number of Pages: 496 Find in Library Read Review |
“In the Beard sisters’ version, ‘the American girl’ ranges in age from eight to eighteen. Healthy and spirited, she thinks nothing of taking a ten-mile ‘romp’ through woods and fields with a group of friends, and collects flowers and leaves for preservation or presentation to friends and relations. Above all, however, the Beards’ girl is handy. She can make a hat rack, a screen, or a bookshelf; fashion a macrame hammock or a cornhusk doll; and draw, paint, sculpt, or decorate a room.
The American Girls Handy Book, in short, by emphasizing what girls can do, presents a portrait of girlhood that is vigorous, active, and full of possibilities.”
– From the foreword by Anne M. Boylan
