In an "autobiography", Margery describes the many trials and joys of growing up in India and England in the late 1800's. While she becomes an orphan at an early age, her close friend Eleanor proves steady support as she matures from a child to a young lady. She and her adoptive older sister turn to everything with enthusiasm and grace, and learning dressmaking is neither more nor less valued than learning Italian so they can read Dante, or collecting natural history specimens. Work first published in 1873/74, by Juliana Horatia Ewing the prolific author of children's stories.

Excerpt from Six to Sixteen: A Story for GirlsBut this is beside the mark, and I must not allow myself to wander off. I am too apt to be disour sive. When I had to write leading articles for our manuscript periodical, Jack used to laugh at me, and say, If it wasn't for Eleanor's disentangling your sentences, you'd put parenthesis within par enthesis till, when you got yourself into the very inside one, you'd be as puzzled as a pig in a labyrinth, and not know how to get back to where you started from. And I remember Clement who generally disputed a point, if possible - said, How do you know she wouldn't get back, if you let her work out each train of thought in peace? The curt, clean-cut French style may suit some people whose brains won't stretch far without getting tired; but others may have more sympathy with a Semitic cast of mind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
