This Wednesday we are going to start a new tradition every Wednesday we will have a book review. Molly here absolutely loves the Elsie series so I thought she would really enjoy starting us off. -Melissa
The Elsie Dinsmore Series is a wonderful series for Christian young ladies to read. This fictional series follows the life of a southern heiress (Elsie Dinsmore) before,during, and after the American Civil War. This series pursues Elsie as she grows up, marries, and becomes a grandmother. It is twenty-eight books long, but is neither a cliff-hanger, nor are the books very long. It is also encouraging in your walk with the Lord. I own and have read books one through fourteen. I assure you that this is a series moms will love. I would not recommend it for younger girls, though, only because they might find it dry in parts. These books are a timeless classic, though I would recommend that you read the original, as they are much(can you tell that I really think that?:) )better than the abridged. My favorite character is Violet, but you will not read about her until several books in. Did I mention that I also like the character named Molly? :))))))
Your Dedicated Friend,

P.S. If you get really into the Elsie Dinsmore Series, try reading some other books by Martha Finley: The Mildred Keith series.
I love that series! It really makes me want to go live in those times.
