Dorothy Canfield Fisher's exceptional children's novel Understood
Betsy returns in this new edition, complete with all of the
original illustrations. First published in 1916, Understood Betsy
depicts the tale of Elizabeth Ann. An orphan, she is raised in the
city by her great-aunt Harriet and her cousin Frances. Although the
pair are capable in caring for young Elizabeth, their existence is
a sheltered one. To Elizabeth's surprise, her mother's family - who
live in rural Vermont - find her and offer her a place in their
country home. Although Harriet has reservations about the manner in
which the Putneys raise children, she duly packs Elizabeth off to
stay there. Much of the novel regards Elizabeth's adapting to the
countryside - many of the duties which are taken care of for her in
the city are expected of her there. However the beauty of the
country, and the practical things she learns during her upbringing,
are ultimately to her benefit.

"A remarkable and brave novel. I was astonished at the acute
angle of vision and the fullness of sympathy toward both men and
women--and children."--Carol Shields
An ahead-of-its-time novel about an unhappy and obsessively
house-proud mother of three whose husband is disabled, leaving her
free to work in a department store and him to be a Montessori
father. One of the ten best-selling novels of 1924 and made into a
(silent) film, it was singled out by Elaine Showalter in her recent
book on American women writers and was included in the collection
Five Hundred Great Books by Women.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher (1879-1958) was one of America's
best-known novelists. The Home-Maker has been a bestseller for
Persephone Books in the United Kingdom, and with this edition it
will be widely available in the United States.
