A London Girl of the 1880s by M. v. HUGHES. abridged in 11 parts by ZOE BAILEY Read by Avril Elgar (1) For a well brought up girl of the late 19th century obliged to earn her living, teaching seemed the obvious choice, but in order to qualify she would have to go to school. The North
London Collegiate School under the famous and formidable Miss Buss was the establishment chosen, and was followed by pioneering days in the first ladies' training college in Cambridge. Molly Hughes portrays her younger self with great charm and sympathy and paints an engaging picture of the manners and customs of the time.
