"Those who are so happy as to be born and to live out their appointed time in the North Country are not only removed from the luxuries and vices of London, but also from that wicked modern fashion of scoffing at the things which lie beyond man's comprehension, and should therefore be accounted sacred. We of Northumberland certainly do not pretend disbelief in what is sufficiently proved, but cannot be understood."

This early work by Walter Besant was originally published in 1891 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Walter Besant could be described as the typical 19th century academic, educated at Cambridge he achieved first-class honours in mathematics and went on to teach at the Royal College in Mauritius, on returning to London he became secretary of the Palestine Exploration Fund, a cross between a scientific survey and intelligence gathering mission. While working for the 'PEF' he began to write fiction and became a sensation over night, 'Dorothy Forster' being the book he considered his favorite of his own works.
