Peggy of Roundabout Lane

By Edna Turpin,
Author of “Honey Sweet” and “Happy Acres.”


With illustrations by Alice Beard


Decorated cloth , 12mo.


Readers of Miss Turpin’s previous books for girls doubtless remember the Callahan family, among the more picturesque of all the characterizations in these delightful volumes. Peggy is a Callahan and this is her story, a story in which Anne Lewis of Honey Sweet fame and some of the people from Happy Acres also figure. It all has to do with the way in which Peggy rises gloriously to an emergency—how she cares for the home while her mother is recovering from a severe illness, brings order out of chaos, and even though she does lose the scholarship prize in school, upon which she has set her heart, wins something even greater and is very happy in her choice and in that which it brings.
