BY G. NORWAY.
A True Cornish Maid. By G. Norway. With 6 page Illustrations by J. Finnemore. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, 3s. 6d.
"There is some excellent reading.... Mrs. Norway brings before the eyes of her readers the good Cornish folk, their speech, their manners, and their ways. A True Cornish Maid deserves to be popular."—Athenæum.
"The incident is plentiful and exciting; the characters are drawn with no common skill. The contrast between the two girls—the rough, free-spoken Ph[oe]be, and the refined, retiring Honor—is excellent."—The Spectator.
"Among girls' books the success of the year has fallen, we think, to Mrs. Norway, whose True Cornish Maid is really an admirable piece of work.... The book is full of vivid and accurate local colour; it contains, too, some very clever character studies."—Review of Reviews.
