About this audiobook
Precocious seventeen-year-old Bab, with a sizeable sense of the romantic and an over-developed sense of the dramatic, shares how these traits get her into continuous scrapes via school themes, journals, and articles meant for publication.
How can a made-up paramour appear at a ball? Will Bab find inspiration or romance from the neighboring vacation cottage? How can she save the career of her latest (and dearest) love? Managing an allowance is easy—isn’t buying a car to save on shoe repair fiscally responsible? Is the family’s butler a spy for Germany?
Set against the backdrop of the first World War, these humorous tales highlight how little has changed in the past century with regard to a young girl’s finding her place in the world.
Rerelease additions! Hear two additional stories from two of Rinehart’s other collections: Jane from Love Stories, and Affinities from Affinities and Other Stories. Both collections will be released in their entirety soon.
