The Tell-Tale & One Better

Here are two stories by Eliza Leslie, an important USA author in the mid-19th century, first offered in digital form (ePub) only, with the print edition soon to follow. Each story is illustrated by 21st century pen and ink artist Marc Johnson-Pencook. In the first one, The Tell-Tale, an incorrigible tell-tale cannot refrain from eaves-dropping as her parents gossip about family and friends, remarks she then grossly exaggerates and conveys to the subjects of their conversations. In the second story, The Boarding School Feast, a young girl transfers to a new Boarding School and encourages the returning borders there to break the school rules, first to satisfy their desire to eat delicious treats but also to experience the fun and adventure of deception. Charming, humorous, and spiked with dashes of moral messaging, these stories will make you want more from this author and illustrator. This fixed-layout digital edition is 104 pages in length and features 27 illustrations, with a total storage size of 19.4 MB.
