The little Lady Clare inherits the responsibilities of an ancestry and a family feud, but the estates and title of her father fall to the hated branch of the family. The child, however, works out for herself the problem of the divided house, which is at last united again in a romantic manner.
“Reminds us in its quaintness and tender pathos of Mrs. Ewing’s delightful tales. The characters are very real and lifelike. Is quite one of the best stories Miss Green has yet given us.”—Literary World.
SARAH TYTLER
A Loyal Little Maid. With 4 page Illustrations by Paul Hardy. 2s. 6d.
This pretty story is founded on a romantic episode of Mar’s rebellion. A little girl has information which concerns the safety of her father in hiding, and this she firmly refuses to divulge to a king’s officer. She is lodged in the Tolbooth, where she finds a boy champion, whom in future years she rescues in Paris from the lettre de cachet which would bury him in the Bastille.
“Has evidently been a pleasure to write, and makes very enjoyable reading.”—Literature.
—Girl Neighbours. With 6 Illustrations. 3s.
A story for girls, told in that quaint, delightful fashion which has made Miss Tytler’s books so popular and attractive. The introduction of the two young ladies from London, who represent the modern institutions of professional nursing and schools of cookery, is very happily effected.
“One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Sarah Tytler’s stories. Very healthy, very agreeable, and very well written.”—The Spectator.
