Items related to The Young Visiters: Or, Mr. Salteena's Plan
Ours is the brown dust jacket with the script title. This book was written by an eight year old girl some time around the turn of the century. It is a story of courtship. The author had read many of the clasic novels on the subject. Combined with the experiences of a child, the result is a book filled with unintentional humor. The result is that her characters are at once children and adults. When taken for a ride in a carriage, her heroin kneels on her trunk and looks out the window, bouncing up and down in her excitement. When Mr. Salteena, whose ambition it is to be a "real gentleman," is presented at court the Prince of Whales offers him ice cream. When he goes to visit London, Mr. Salteena sees nothing improper about sending the heroin to stay with the hero, chaperoned. They fall in love and marry, much to the disappointment of Mr. Salteena who loves her too. He consoles himself by eating some of the wonderful deserts at their wedding supper. This is one of the funniest books ever written.
