This early 20th century juvenile novel from the popular “Campfire Girls” series transports readers to a sun-drenched seaside adventure. Written by Jane L. Stewart under the pseudonym “Hildegard G. Frey,” it follows a group of intrepid young campers as they explore the mysteries and delights of life by the ocean. Published in 1914, at the height of the back-to-nature movement, the book captures the era’s emphasis on fresh air, exercise, and cultivating a reverence for the outdoors. Stewart’s vivid descriptions of marine life, tidal pools, and windswept dunes immerse modern readers in a bygone era of childhood freedom and discovery. This well-loved copy bears the gentle patina of many readings, with a cover just loosened enough to allow the printed pages to fall open invitingly. For collectors of vintage girls’ series and scholars of the naturalist movement in children’s literature, it offers a glimpse into an important transitional period before the encroachment of modern urbanity.
