<BLOCKQUOTE>
Louisa de la Ram&eacute;e (1839-1908), an English novelist, is generally known 
by her pseudonym "Ouida," which was the result of a child's attempt to pronounce 
her first name. Her novels had strong popular qualities: intensely dramatic, 
with senti­ment rather high-pitched and always verging on the sensational. 
The intense human interest is constantly present in her work 
and accounts for her great vogue. Two of her stories, 
"The Dog of Flanders" and "Moufflou," have gained a permanent place 
in juvenile literature. They are popular among sixth, seventh, and eighth grade pupils.
