The Elsie Dinsmore Novels, Martha Finley, in our opinion is the author of the best Series of novels that we have seen in our forty-three years of reviewing. Written by Martha Finley, an unmarried teacher of the last century, these novels proved to be a means of conveying her deep love for Christ Jesus. She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. Altogether there are 28 of these novels, all built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors.
This series was popular in the United States and in Britain selling over 25,000,000 books. Elsie's Girlhood is the sequel to "Elsie Dinsmore" and "Elsie's Holidays at Roselands"
Complete authorized edition. Sequel to Elsie's girlhood book 3.
