Four Girls at Chautauqua

Join four spirited friends—spoiled yet charming Ruth, playful and mischievous Eurie, the independent and brainy Marion, and the shy, approval-seeking Flossy—as they embark on an unforgettable adventure at Chautauqua. Authored by Isabella M. Alden under the pen name Pansy, this captivating tale is the first in the Chautauqua Girls series. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant adult education movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, their lives are forever transformed through culture, entertainment, and the bonds of friendship.
