Miss Prudence by Jenny Maria Drinkwater

This sounds like a very interesting and smart bok. It's a coming of age novel like The Wide, Wide World and The Lamplighter (both are excellent books.) I think it would be about 12 hours of finished recording. The book has 31 chapters. As far as I could see, it's about the self discovery of Marjery, and the people who help and support her along the way. Here is a link to the etext:

I don't know when the author died. But the book was published in 1883.
Stav.

Bumping up this thread to catch some awareness.

Miss Stav has moved on - so her BCing offer is no longer part of the 12-year-old suggestion. That's one of the reasons we discourage "bumping".
If you were interested in BCing it or soloing it I'm sure Stav would be delighted

Just set it up in the new projects.

Anne, I think there might have been a misunderstanding. Please let me explain my point more clearly. I wasn’t “bumping” the thread to raise awareness for Stav. It was just a way of “renewing” the book suggestion so that I didn’t have to make another thread for the same book.
