These books are in the form of PDFs. They are printable and searchable. They have been digitised by scanning nineteenth century or early twentieth century copies of the books. These original scans are also available in the Internet Archive. To make them more readable we have omitted the images, which can be seen, if desired, with the original scans in the Internet Archive. Books dated later than 1922 may not be viewed from within the USA.

Many books of the period up to 1922 were originally published in serial form, usually in weekly instalments. Such books might be put into book form for the first time several years after the author's death.

Margaret Murray Robertson was born in Scotland, and came to Quebec via the United States. Here she began her writing career. Her best known work was "Christy Redfern's Troubles", but all had much the same theme as "Shenac's Work at Home", the story of a selfless girl. The setting is Glengarry County, Ontario, and the background is Scottish. Shenac is the Gaelic form of Jane. Signed OCCL, and taken from a web page "Canadian Children’s Book, 1852-1868."
