Before it was a Pulitzer Prize-winning play and a successful silent film, Zona Gale's Miss Lulu Bett was the best-selling novel of 1920. A departure from Gale's earlier idyllic Friendship Village stories, Miss Lulu Bett is the story of a small-town Midwestern spinster who gets a chance at both marriage and feminist awakening-an example of the Midwestern "revolt from the village" movement. This edition brings together, for the first time, the original novel and the play (including both endings).

Lulu Bett lives in a small town with her sister Ina and Ina's husband Dwight-a dentist who rules his household with self-righteous smugness. The unmarried Lulu has learned that she cannot question her role as chief cook, housekeeper, and gracious presence. But when Dwight's sophisticated brother Ninian comes to visit, Lulu finds in herself a surprising wit-and the boldness to accept his playful proposal of marriage. Through her appealing, determined heroine, Zona Gale satirically dispatches a sheaf of the social assumptions of her day, from male supremacy to the security of marriage. First published in 1920, Miss Lulu Bett was immediately acclaimed, and went on to become one of two bestselling novels of the year. Together with four of Gale's short stories-including the O. Henry award-winning "Bridal Pond”-Miss Lulu Bett reflects Gale's broad progressive interests and the fast-paced, affecting prose which made her one of the most popular writers of her time and a classic American storteller."A great book . . . the telling is almost incomparable” —Robert Benchley, The World"Eloquent. . . . Miss Lulu Bett is without flaw” —The Atlantic Monthly"It has a narrowly limned beauty. . . . The book stands as a signal accomplishment in American letters” —The New Republic

A small town falls on hard times and through much persuasion, decides to skip Christmas. A lone woman finds that her small nephew, now orphaned, is coming to live with her on Christmas Eve. The town decides to do things to welcome him that are ''not really for Christmas.'' But of course the spirit of love and brotherhood shines through as Christmas softens hearts and is reborn in this tiny village.

"Poems of delicacy and sensitiveness expressing the deep secret urge of the soul toward things that shall not pass. We were interested in "The Secret Way," Zona Gale's latest volume of verse recently published. We found them even better than we had anticipated, quite up to Miss Gale's usual standard. Her poems possess that melodious harmony which we though quite departed from modern verse, while their sweetness and complacency is charming. We should list her Terza Rima in this class because of the appeal of their rhythm and tone. But Miss Gale is not a bas bleu of the past. In her Prose Notes occupying the latter portion of the book we found modernisms or striking quality both in form and structure. However, she is most at home with the simplest of her verse." --"The Independent and the Weekly Review" [1921]
