Amarilly of Clothes-Line Alley

Amarilly Jenkins may be a scrub-girl, but she has ambitions. Through hard work, determination, and a few hilarious high jinks, the cheerful young girl pulls herself and her entire family out of poverty. One-part Pollyanna and one-part Pygmalion, Amarilly will make you laugh. Amarilly of Clothes-Line Alley (1915) was Belle K. Maniates's most popular novel, inspiring a play and several silent film adaptations.
