“Miss Dotty is a peremptory little body, with a great deal of human
nature in her, who wins our hearts by her comic speeches and funny
ways. She complains of being _bewitched_ by people, and the wind ‘blows
her out,’ and she thinks if her comrade dies in the snow-storm she will
be ‘dreadfully ’shamed of it,’ and has rather a lively time with all
her trials in going to school.”--_New York Citizen._
DOTTY DIMPLE AT PLAY
“‘Charming Dotty Dimple,’ as she is so universally styled, has become
decidedly a favorite with young and old, who are alike pleased with
her funny sayings and doings. ‘Dotty at Play’ will be found very
attractive, and the children, especially the girls, will be delighted
with her adventures.”--_Boston Express._
DOTTY DIMPLE’S FLYAWAY
“This is the final volume of the ‘Dotty Dimple Series.’ It relates
how little Flyaway provisioned herself with cookies and spectacles
and got lost on a little hill while seeking to mount to heaven,
and what a precious alarm there was until she was found, and the
subsequent joy at her recovery, with lots of quaint speeches and funny
incidents.”--_North American._
“A Little Red Riding-Hoodish story, sprightly and takingly
told.”--_American Farmer._

Transcriber’s note
Minor punctuation errors have been changed without notice. Italics in
the title of works was standardized, hyphenation was standardized where
appropriate.
The illustration “VENUS TURNED HER AT ONCE INTO A CAT AGAIN.” was
incorrectly placed facing page 152 in the original. It has been moved
to Page 180 to match the List of Illustrations.
Spelling was retained as in the original except for the following
changes:
Page 48: “Chúrgoro, who was very” “Chúgoro, who was very”
Page 243: “Not a boy iives” “Not a boy lives”
