Old Delabole
By EDEN PHILLPOTTS
Author of “Brunel’s Tower,” etc.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
Delabole is a Cornish slate mining town and the tale which Mr. Phillpotts tells against it as a background, one in which a matter of honor or conscience is the pivot, is dramatic in situation and doubly interesting because of the moral problem which it presents. Mr. Phillpotts’s artistry and keen perception of those motives which actuate conduct have never been better exhibited.
“Old Delabole,” says Elia W. Peattie in the Chicago Tribune, “is unusual. Its characters stand up boldly like monoliths against a gray sky. The struggle of life and the philosophy of life, old age as well as youth, dullness as well as quiet wisdom, play their part in the tale.”
