Description

(from A. L. Burt reprint) What is a Sub-Deb?

A sub-deb is that most effervescent and entertaining personage in the entire world – a sweet young girl “somewhere in her teens” – just ready for life, yet theoretically an onlooker in the game of life because she has not made her social début.

But Bab is not only an on-looker.

She is intensely alive – a girl-woman, romantic, adventurous, loyal. Such a girl as yours and mine – such a girl as our sons will marry – such a girl as only this day and generation have brought forth.

This is Bab – a -Sub-Deb --- the girl beloved, Mrs. Rinehart’s most humorous, engaging character creation.

You will enjoy the “mirth” of this story.

Notes

Delightful. One of the best of the unreliable narrators. Bab is a force of nature.
