| Dainty and full of delicate fancy, this new work of a favorite writer charms by its manner, pleases by its cleverness, and interests by its tale of true love, which sentiment is treated as the most exalting of emotions, but without the slightest touch of materialism | A Book to be Enjoyed “With exquisite skill quite her own, the author individualizes in this gracefully told story, the heart’s devotion as the most exalted and exalting emotion. Miss Reed has the rare genius of attuning love to thrilling heights without a touch of coarse materialism. Withal she builds on a practical plane, since her characterization is human.”—Chicago Journal. “A perfectly exquisite little tale, simply genuine, effecting and, rarest of all, fragrant.... A dainty and beautiful little story, full of the scent of lavender and of the atmosphere that clings to old farmhouses, filled with colonial furniture and china.... In this book all is beautiful, quiet, serene and charming; the story is touched with the most human love, joy, suffering and tears.... The thing is a gem, simply fresh, wholesome and artistic, even in its abundance of humor and pathos, a book to refresh your soul.”—Boston Herald. |
