'Any faults the book may have are redeemed by a page torn from the authoress's own heart. "Changing the Nurseries" is a chapter no woman, mother, or maid could read without a lump in her throat. The strong maternal element, which is the chief virtue of the Irish, is rife in it, and the thousand and one little trivialities that our life is made up of are admirably commented upon.'—St. James's Budget.
OH, WHAT A PLAGUE IS LOVE!
By KATHARINE TYNAN (Mrs. HINKSON).
Crown 8vo, cloth, price 3s. 6d.
'This sparkling story has such freshness as suggests a draught new-drawn from Paphian wells. It is, in fact, a vivacious little comedy, agreeably diversified with threatenings of tragedy, and radiant with humour from first to last.'—Daily Chronicle.
'Mrs. Hinkson is lively and pleasant in her domestic story—purely English this time—which relates the misgivings and manœuvrings of a family of young grown-up people who are ever on the watch for the amorous proclivities of a light-hearted father.'—National Observer.
'Leigh Hunt would have delighted in Mrs. Hinkson. He knew how to value high spirit in a writer, and the gaiety of this cheerful story would have charmed him immensely.'—Saturday Review.
