A Little Girl In Old Pittsburg

By Amanda Minnie Douglas

Book Overview

On the edge of an early American Pennsylvania town, a spirited child feels the past pressing in on every side. A little girl discovers Pittsburg. Caught between pioneer family life and the stir of an emerging community, she begins to understand who she is and where she belongs. Amanda M Douglas shapes a warmly detailed historical novel for children, tracing a coming of age heroine as she navigates friendship, duty and the small adventures of everyday life in old Pittsburg Pennsylvania, where home, work and play are coloured by changing times and the growth of early American city life. Written by a leading voice in classic girls historical fiction, A Little Girl In Old Pittsburg belongs to the Amanda M Douglas series that opened windows onto the past for generations of young readers. Its gentle humour, moral clarity and close attention to domestic detail make it a natural choice for homeschool historical reading, a thoughtful gift book for girls, and a rewarding discovery for Anne of Green Gables fans who love character-driven, quietly adventurous stories rooted in family, community and character. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this classic is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, ready to enrich any classic childrens literature collection focused on early American Pennsylvania town life and the wider history of a growing nation.
