Literary critic Kate Dickinson Sweetser offers this book on ten of the female characters of the books of the renowned author Charles Dickens. Among them will be found several of the most popular of the creations of Dickens, notably, The Marchioness, Little Nell, Jenny Wren, and Florence Dombey, and it is hoped that in this presentation as simple stories of girlhood, their classic form and beauty may arouse in young readers a new interest in the novels from which they are taken. It is a companion book to her other work, "Ten Boys from Dickens."
