Dorothy DaleA Girl of To-day (Illustrated)

by Margaret Penrose

Overview

Dorothy Dale—A Girl of To-day is the first volume in a series of 13. Dorothy lives in a small, New England town. Her father is an old Civil War veteran who publishes the town's weekly newspaper. Her life-long friend Tavia Travers provides the spunk needed to balance Dorothy's equanimity. The girls fun-loving ways, trials and triumphs make for clean, interesting and fast-paced reading. The series remains immensely popular with preteen, tween, teen, and adult readers. Stratemeyer used the hyphenated "To-day" consistently. That style is retained here.
