1 y separately published work icon Jennifer Stands By Gladys Lister , Sydney London : Angus and Robertson , 1941 Z831679 1941 single work children's fiction children's Publisher's blurb (Angus and Robertson 1946) pasted to endpapers states:

Well known as a writer of quaint and charming fairy-tales for small children, Mrs Lister, in Jennifer Stands By, shows that she can also write tales to enthrall their big brothers and sisters.

A lonely child brought up by her wealthy grandmother in a stately English home, Jennifer learns one day that she has a father and twin brother living in Australia—a father and brother whose existence has been kept from her. Persuading her disapproving grandmother to take her to them, putting aside riches in favour of living in a mean cottage in a mining settlement, winning her brother's affection and respect—Jennifer is no ordinary heroine. She has grit and charm and good looks, and in the mystery of the ghost miner and the hidden gold she plays an exciting part that makes all the difference to the family fortunes.

With its romance and mystery, adventure and intrigue, Jennifer Stands By will hold an immense appeal for young readers.
