The Quest of the Blue Rose
After the death of her mother, Sylvia Sherwood has to make her own way in the world as a telegraph clerk. The world she finds herself in is a girls’ hostel in a big northern city. For a while she can only see the uncongenial side of her surroundings. In the end, however, Sylvia, contented at last with her hard-working, hum-drum life, finds herself the successful writer of a book of children’s poems.
