Agnus, Orme, pseud. (John C. Higginbotham). Sarah Tuldon. [+]75c. Little.
A popular edition of a 1904 book. Sarah Tuldon, an English peasant girl, is the type of heroine which one expects to find in historical novels, but her spirit, energy, good commonsense and generosity are directed towards leavening sordid conditions among the laboring classes. She is self-reared from most unpromising surroundings, and thru never-wearying perseverance reaches a position of self-command and generalship in her community.
“Its greatest claim to importance lies in the artistic and sympathetic treatment the author has given the subject.”
