Ten Girls from Dickens a compilation of girl characters in Charles Dicken novels.
Kate Dickinson Sweetser (died 1939) was an American author known in her time for writing juvenile fiction and compilations.
This book of girl-life, portrayed by this great author, is presented with the same underlying motive as those of boy-life, and have been compiled in the same manner, with the same purpose in view.
Among them will be found several of the most popular of the creations of Dickens, notably, The Marchioness, Little Nell, Jenny Wren, and Florence Dombey, and it is hoped that in this presentation as simple stories of girlhood, their classic form and beauty may arouse in the young people of our day a new interest in the novels from which they are taken.
This volume and its companion will have accomplished their purpose when they have won fresh laurels and a wider audience for the famous writer to whom they are indebted for their existence.
