Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Lover of Truth When Jean Reycroft was a little girl, she was usually characterized by her elders as "a very good child." Now there is nothing more disheartening at any age than to be known solely by our virtues, but it is particularly depressing when we are young. What she would have liked people to say was, "Jean Reycroft is so pretty, and very fascinating and charming!" In point of fact, she was not any of these things, and alas I she knew it only too well. Interesting she was, but at the age of ten her interesting qualities had not worked from the inside to the surface sufficiently to be apparent except to her family. When a little girl sits silent for hours in a merry company, she might as well be without brains, so far as her contribution to society is concerned. Jean had another claim to distinction, namely, her family connection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
