A Little Girl in Old Boston
A Little Girl in Old Boston, published in 1898, is one of Amanda M. Douglas's popular "Little Girl" stories and is set in Boston around the turn of the nineteenth century. Doris, an orphan whose French father's family has remembered her in a will, has spent her early years on the Lincolnshire coast and in a convent, and she arrives among her Puritan relatives under the suspicious eye of Aunt Priscilla, who fears she may be a Papist. The novel follows her through lessons, tea parties, a first Christmas, winters and summers in the growing town, and on into young womanhood. Douglas fills the story with details of household life and manners in the young republic. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
