New ed. (1952, Lippincott)
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Mary GrandPré. Orphans Nancy and Plum lead deprived lives at cruel Mrs. Monday's boarding school. The sisters manage to escape her clutches, find wonderful new guardians, and even improve the lot of other orphans. Modern readers may not recognize the era's mores, but they'll love domestic Nancy and tomboy Plum. GrandPré's new pencil and wash illustrations strike just the right note: old-fashioned yet cheeky.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
