“Considered as a bright and humorous story, this tale is incomparably superior to the author’s previous work, ‘Susan Clegg and her friend Mrs. Lathrop.’ The general moral atmosphere, especially of the earlier part of the story, leaves much to be desired.”

Frenssen, Gustav. [Jorn Uhl]; tr. by F. S. Delmer. [†]$1.50. Estes.
Jörn Uhl was the youngest son of a drunken brute. His mother died neglected, his brothers followed his father’s mode of living and Jörn worked the great farm while the others caroused. His career is followed in detail as his character unfolds and he dully plods toward the light, until at last he comes to be a man of mark.
