The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe; Or, There's No Place Like Home

About This Book

This is not a child’s story, nor a comic view of household life,—as some might think from its title—but a domestic novel, full of the delights of home, of pure thoughts, and gentle virtues. It has also sufficient complications to keep the thread of interest drawn, and to lead the reader on. Among Miss Douglas’ many successful books, there is none more beautiful or attractive, or which leaves a more permanent impression.Description taken from the back of the 1893 edition of Bethia Wray's New Name, published by Lee and Shepard.
