Marieken de Bruin: Somewhere in Belgium

Children's fiction

Published in 1918, Marieken de Bruin: Somewhere in Belgium by Martha Trent is part of the Somewhere series. Each volume details the story of a girl in a different country during the First World War. The hardback cover is olive, with the image of a nurse inset. The image shows a young girl, dressed in a white nurse uniform, which includes a white headdress, long sleeves, and a starched white apron with a red cross. She is surrounded by battle. Cloth. Illustrated.

From the dustcover: "Around a central figure, "half girl, half boy, and the better half of each," the author has written a fascinating story laying the plot first in America and subsequently, in the other stories in other countries, the author's intimate knowledge and deep insight into the life and surroundings of the young heroines in the various countries add distinct educational value to the pronounced charm and quaintness of the stories."
