A Yorkshire novel of great power written by a well-known Yorkshire lady who is well versed in the idiosyncrasy of the rural inhabitants of that delightful country.
Morning Post.—"An excellent story. . . . These Yorkshire folk are drawn with skill, each having individuality. Miss Holtby gives plenty of evidence in her first novel that she has the gift of narrative."
Guardian.—"This vivid and powerful story of rural life in Yorkshire is certainly one of the best 'first novels' which we have read for a considerable time."
Truth.—"A new writing, who gets her effects by handling simpler material with the power that comes of genuine insight and sincerity. For a first novel 'Anderby Wold' is a notable achievement."
Time and Tide.—"'Anderby Wold' is apparently a first novel. If that be so, one can congratulate Miss Holtby on a degree of mastery over her material, and a knowledge of how to present it, that are rare even in the hands of much more practised writers."
Times Literary Supplement.—"Interesting in many ways."
Westminster Gazette.—"All North Country folk will enjoy this well-written story."
Gentlewoman.—"A remarkably fine piece of work. . . . A story of great truth and unflagging interest."
Manchester Guardian.—"An extremely interesting first novel. The whole book shows a careful workmanship rare in a first novel."
