FAMILIAR FICTION

The girl who is a dream of loveliness when she is drying her hair in the sun. The blacksmith’s daughter in the country village who reads Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. The beautiful little governess who wins the young lord’s heart. The poverty-stricken maiden who, gowned in simple white muslin and a blue sash, outshines her betterdressed sisters and is the belle of the ball. The girl whose wind-blown tresses fall in a golden shower about her alabaster neck when she takes a canter on her spirited bay.

The proud beauty who scorns the attention of the humble young artist, and learns too late that he is a man of fame. The untutored maiden with the voice of a nightingale who brings the whole audience to her feet on her first appearance. The heiress who wanders about disguised as a poor girl and falls in love with the fisherman's son.
