Hardcover. Condition: Good -. No Jacket. Anthology of 28 short stories and poetry sections featuring female heroines.

Pages are not numbered. 16 popular authors listed with some of the other works not attributed to any particular author. The illustrations are also from different people not identified except for their signatures on illustrations. Herbert Strang was the pseudonym of two English authors, George Herbert Ely (1866¿1958) and Charles James L'Estrange (1867¿1947). They specialized in writing adventure stories for boys, both historical and modern-day. Both men were staff members of Oxford University Press, which published their books, giving them a patina of social status and approval for the parents of their intended audience. That pseudonym was also employed for several series of anthologies, works "edited by Herbert Strang" that included The Big Book of School Stories for Boys and The Oxford Annual for Scouts. There was in addition an anthology series for girls by "Mrs. Herbert Strang", who was also given as the author of some adventure books for girls including one of the stories in this collection. The full color illustration pasted to the cover was the illustration from the story "Winona" attributed to Mrs. Herbert Stang. It is signed by the artist "G. Clark", who I assume, was George Merritt Clark (1853-1904) although nothing in the text confirms this assumption. Hardcover has decorated green paper boards with green cloth spine, white lettering on spine & front, and one of the full color illustrations pasted on front cover.
