"Really good stories" abound in the adventures of the early Friends, and Violet Holdsworth's remarkable collection of tales for children was for years a treasured possession of Quaker families. But they may not have been known to the many new families who have come into the Society of Friends, and it is for this reason that this new edition of "Quaker Saints" has been produced.
Reprinted 1922. C.2 - Duveneck (also a 1917 edition)
