The Benefactress
By the Author of
“Elizabeth and her German Garden”
THE SPECTATOR.—“If ‘Elizabeth’s’ satire is somewhat cruel, it is in the main justified by the situation and the results. For the moral of the story is as sound as the wit is mordant. ‘The Benefactress,’ in a word, combines the rare qualities of being at once wholesome, agreeably malicious, and in full accord with the principles of the Charity Organisation Society.”
Mr. W. L. Courtney in the DAILY TELEGRAPH.—“It is difficult to describe by any single epithet the peculiar charm which surrounds the work of the authoress of ‘Elizabeth and her German Garden.’... Quiet, tender, incisive, humorous.... Triumphantly successful.”
LITERATURE.—“Fully equal to ‘Elizabeth and her German Garden.’... Maintains its interest throughout, and is full of well drawn characters.”
STANDARD.—“Delightful from beginning to end. It is wholesome, full of charm and joyousness.”
WORLD.—“The writer holds the reader, not to lose her hold while a line of the book remains to be read and read again. Every character is a living individuality, and every incident is a necessity.”
MORNING POST.—“An excellent piece of work.... The most amusing reading which has come our way for some time.”
