{"product_id":"2940156850921","title":"Betty Leicester's Christmas (Illustrated Edition)","description":"When \"Betty Leicester\" appeared, this very judicious comment was made: \"It is rather difficult to find the right kind of books for girls of fifteen and sixteen, and they are apt to experience a craze at this age for the silliest and most harmful kind of third-rate novels; but 'Betty Leicester' is just the right kind of story to put into such a girl's hands.  It is bright, healthy, natural, and interesting to the reader from first to last.  It is thoroughly friendly and companionable.\"  Betty went to England soon after she inspired that story, and there she had a charming variety of good times, seeing famous places and people, and enjoying all her unfamiliar experiences.  The most remarkable of these were connected with the Christmas season, and they are delightfully described in the story Miss Jewett tells.
