Mabel Hale's classic guidebook educates and teaches girls of the Christian faith how to mature into good and virtuous young ladies. Lauded for its timeless advice and wisdom, Beautiful Girlhood has enjoyed uncommon longevity for a book of its kind. Passed from generation to generation, it is distinguished for its common sense tone and adherence to Christian virtue and principles. The trials of growing up are discussed by a woman with first-hand experience as an adherent of God, a girl, and as a parent with children. The book's tone is that of accessible, friendly advice, rather than condescension. In a world where countless things are competing for the attention of youngsters, Beautiful Girlhood reminds young girls not to be controlled or led astray by passing trends or material distractions. Instead, cultivation of a simple, honest and kind personality will lead to a happier, fulfilled life.
