""Young Maids and Old"" is a novel written by Clara Louise Burnham and published in 1889. The story revolves around two sisters, one young and beautiful, the other older and plain. The younger sister, named Helen, is the object of affection for many men, while her older sister, named Susan, is often overlooked. Despite her plain appearance, Susan is kind and intelligent, and she becomes a confidant and advisor to her younger sister as she navigates the complexities of love and relationships. The novel explores themes of beauty, aging, and the value of inner qualities over outward appearances. It is a poignant and thought-provoking work that has endured as a classic of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
