About this book
Records of a Girlhood is credited to Frances Ann Kemble. Chapter I says the writer received from a friend, to whom they had been addressed, a collection of the writer's own letters, written during a period of forty years, and amounting to thousands.
The writer tells of a friend at a dinner party who, asked if she had seen Mr. Fechter in Hamlet, replied in the negative, adding that she did not think she should relish Shakespeare declaimed with a foreign accent. The gentleman who had questioned the friend says that, after all, you know, Hamlet was a foreigner. The text lists sights seen: the fine, picturesque old town of Chester; Liverpool, its docks, its cemetery, its railway, on which the writer was flown away with by a steam-engine at the rate of five and thirty miles an hour; and Manchester.
