Book Description:
Dieses Buch der im 19. Jahrhundert sehr erfolgreichen Jugendschriftstellerin Clementine Helm erzählt auf liebevolle Weise die Geschichte von Gretchen, welche als Landei zu ihrer Tante nach Berlin kommt, um Benimm zu lernen. Diese völlig neue Welt, die in starkem Kontrast zu ihrem bisherigen freien und wilden Landleben steht, fordert Grete einiges ab, und anfangs lässt sie kein Fettnäpfchen aus. Nach und nach lernt sie jedoch, sich in der feineren Gesellschaft Berlins zu bewegen ohne überall anzuecken. Unterstützt wird sie dabei durch ihre beste Freundin Marie, und durch ihre sehr geduldige Tante. - Zusammenfassung von Claudia Salto
