Synopsis

Excerpt from The Seven Little Sisters: Who Live on the Round Ball That Floats in the Air

Now, if we look on another Side of the ball, we shall see no ponds, but something very dreary. I am afraid you won't like it. A great plain of sand, sand like that on the sea-shore, only here there is no sea, and the sand stretches away farther than you can see on every side; there are no trees, and the sunshine beats down, al most burning whatever is beneath it.

Perhaps you think this would be a grand place to build sand-houses. One of the little sisters lives here, and, when you read of her, you will know what She thinks about it. Always the one who has tried it knows best.

Product Description:

Excerpt from The Seven Little Sisters: Who Live on the Round Ball That Floats in the Air Perhaps the readers and lovers of this little book will be glad of a few pages, by way of introduction, which shall show them somewhat of Miss Andrews herself, and of her way of writing and teaching, as an old friend and schoolmate may try to tell it; and, to begin with, a glimpse of the happy day when she called a few of her friends together to listen to the stories contained in this volume, before they were offered to a publisher. Picture to yourselves a group of young ladies in one of the loveliest of old-fashioned parlors, looking out on a broad, elm-shaded street in the old town of Newburyport.
