| Summary | "A Bookful of Girls" by Anna Fuller is a light-hearted fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Blythe Halliday, a spirited young girl who embarks on an ocean voyage with her mother. Throughout her journey, she encounters a variety of interesting characters, including a mysterious poet and a charming, less fortunate child from the steerage, Cecilia, which sets the stage for her adventures and friendships that blossom during the trip. The opening of the book introduces Blythe Halliday and her mother aboard the ship, "Lorelei", as they set sail toward Europe. Blythe's fascination with her fellow passengers leads her to engage with a bold Englishman, whom she believes to be the famous poet Hugh Dalton. As they navigate the ocean's charm, Blythe's attention is drawn to a little girl in steerage, prompting feelings of empathy and curiosity about her life. This sets up Blythe's desire to help Cecilia, hinting at the overarching themes of friendship and social class that will likely evolve throughout the narrative.
