Averil

I've decided that this year, I'm going to read more.
So I started a booklist that includes Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and Charles Dickens.(we'll see how far I actually get......)

I was browsing our shelves and came across a very old book with the world *Averil* on the front.
       I asked mom what it was, (because I love old books!) and she said she picked it up in antique store a long time ago because of the pretty cover and name, but hadn't ever gotton around to reading it.
Of course I had to remedy this!

It is one of the sweetest books I have ever read!
The style and word view reminded me strongly of The Old Fashioned Girl.
Not to mention the beautiful pictures inside. :)

It was written by Rosa Carey and published in 1907.
A very good read. :D

    It's almost a Cinderella story....
    Averil is Cinderella, she has two mean step sisters and a rude stepmother. But in the story, Averil is rich and that's why they're mean to her.
