Little Pilgrimages Among the Women Who Have Written Famous Books by Edward Francis Harkins (1872 - ) and Charles Haven Ladd Johnston (1877 - 1943)

The purpose of this book is to renew an intimate acquaintance with the women whom the American reading public regards as favorites, and to establish a like intimate acquaintance with the promising newcomers. The sketches are partly critical and partly biographical. They are the result of efforts to inform as well as to entertain. (from the Preface)
