Excerpt from Mary in California To try to tell all the wonderful things of Cali formia in one small book is impossible. There is only space for a hop, skip, and jump sort of Visit. The author hopes that she will make other young people wish to follow Mary to the Golden State and learn for themselves its many attractions, even if they cannot have quite all the adventures that came to this American family Robinson. But the welcome of the Californians will be there in good measure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
