Description
This is one of Girls Gone By’s classic school stories from their “Fun in the Fourth” selection. This series is picking the best school story from a range of authors, choosing excellent titles that need to be brought to today’s audience.
Evelyn Finds Herself is about friendship. It has been described as not being a typical school story, but is one of the best. It does contain many of the typical ingredients – quarrels, practical jokes, hockey – but they are subordinated to the main theme, the development and recognition of individuality. The book deserves recognition as a work of literature, tracing a girl’s mental and social development to adulthood against the background of a particular time and setting.
