Leisurely does Miss Macdonell conduct her follower thru the land of chateaux, and takes him into the byways of the “thousand valleys.” “Indeed, she finds more of the flavor of by-gone days in the lesser castles, where there are no guides to hurry the visitors, and where the shabbiness and quiet decay give the imagination free rein. It is to these that she takes her readers; to the grim fortresses, also, that guarded the lands: to the humble dwellings that nestled in the shadow of the lordly manors; and to the rivers—shy and silent or swift and rapacious—that water this ‘Garden of France.’” (Dial.)
