Rebecca Mary by Annie Hamilton Donnell, first published in 1905. The heart tragedies of this little girl with no one near to share them, are told with a delicate art, a keen appreciation of the needs of the childish heart and a humorous knowledge of the workings of the childish mind. This author possesses the rare gift of portraying all the grotesque little joys and sorrows and scruples of this very small girl with a pathos that is peculiarly genuine and appealing. A little girl even though she belonged to the ranks of the misunderstood. Annie Hamilton Donnell, however, in a book of short stories, emphasizes too strongly that unhappy phase of child life. Too many of these small persons are martyrs to their neglectful, gay young mothers, and wear their little lives out yearning for mamma's kiss.
