Advice To Little Girls
by Mark Twain, Vladimir Radunsky

"Mark Twain wrote Advice for Little Girls as a tongue-in-cheek manners manual for young ladies. Now, it’s being published for the first time, along with the whimsical and cheeky illustrations of Vladimir Radunsky. Mischievous girls and boys will enjoy reading Twain’s so-called advice, which includes “You ought never to ‘sass’ old people unless they ‘sass’ you first.” Of course, Twain was never accustomed to writing for young children (or interested in simplifying his language for them), so this book is sure to introduce some new vocabulary. (For ages 6 and up)"
