Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I came across two books published under the "Windermere Readers" name in the 1950s, by Rand McNally & Company. Many are illustrated by Milo Winter. I don't see any markings that they are abridged, and they seem such nice editions. The print is a good size, the paper is sturdy -- nice to hold and readWould anyone know anything about them? Mainly, are they abridged?
