Webster, Jean: Just Patty & When Patty Went to College. v1. 24 Aug 2016
JUST PATTY
& WHEN PATTY WENT TO COLLEGE. By Jean Webster (1876–1916) When Patty Went to College was first published in 1903; Just Patty in 1911. This book is in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+99” or less, and in the USA. Due to copyright restrictions, illustrations have been omitted. (Cover sketch is by Charles Dana Gibson, famed creator of the Gibson Girls art.) --------------- Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster) was an American author and playwright. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially; with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books enjoyable to modern readers. ******* The Patty Wyatt books narrate humorous episodes in the school life of a bright and mischievous adolescent girl. A gratifying look back at a gentler, more innocent era, with fun at the forefront. (When Patty Went to College was Webster’s first published book; but Just Patty, the prequel about her boarding school experiences, is placed first in this edition to maintain the story arc.) EXCERPT FROM JUST PATTY Spoiler:
--------------- Text was obtained from gutenberg.org. Embedded fonts for titling and text inserts. Some transcription errors were corrected; punctuation, italics and diacritics formatted; some spelling and punctuation standardized; chapter heads cross-linked to Table of Contents. --------------- Just the thing if you are in a nostalgic mood for the "good old days." .
