MY MISTRESS THE QUEEN:
By Miss M. A. Paull. With 4 full-page Illustrations by C. T. Garland. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2s. 6d.
"My Mistress the Queen" is Mary, daughter of James II., into whose service the narrator, a girl of 16, enters just before the marriage of Mary to William III. The descriptions of persons and manners at the courts of Charles II. and William III. are life-like and accurate. The language is simple, and imitative of the quaint quiet style of that period.
"The style is pure and graceful, the presentation of manners and character has been well studied, and the story is full of interest."—Scotsman.
"This is a charming book. The old-time sentiment which pervades the volume renders it all the more alluring."—Western Mercury.
