“We know, however, of no analysis of the character and work of Euripides that is, all things considered, as thorough, impartial, and convincing as that made by Paul Decharme.” George S. Hellman.

Deeping, (George) Warwick. [Bess of the woods.] †$1.50. Harper.
Bess, the courageous heroine of this stirring tale, has been brought up as one of a rough band of English smugglers who quarrel over her among themselves, but when one of them tries to win her by brute force, there comes to her aid young Richard Jaffray, owner of a near-by estate, who rescues her and is wounded in her defence. How Bess is freed from Dan, and how Richard escapes from the toils of the passé Miss Jilian, and how they both come to their own, forms the substance of this story of brave deeds and social banter, of ball-room, of forest and of sea.
“A vigorous, full-blooded romance of the eighteenth century, in which the tone and temper of the age are most successfully realized.”
+ Ath. 1906, 2: 98. Jl. 28. 190w.
“Might have been written by any one of a dozen other novelists—and written rather better.”
