Girls in Bookland

Two young sisters, Ruth and Rose, are bored. Outside, there is a huge blizzard, and they are unable to go out and play. They live in a farmhouse in Wyoming, and their closest neighbour is miles away. Winters are tough. The two girls meet Honeysqueak, an invisible fairy who tells them about Magic Gate. It is a way for the two children to visit their favourite book characters for a short time. Perfect way to stave off boredom in such a long winter! They quickly find themselves immersed in the books, meeting all sorts of intriguing book characters, such as the March sisters from 'Little Women', Sappho, the Greek poet from Lesbos, Robin Hood and Maid Marian, Rob Roy, Merlin the magician, and so many more (Google) This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
