JULIANA HORATIA EWING
Lob Lie-by-the-fire and Story of Short Life
Hardcover
(JM Dent March 15, 1964)
"There lingers over some people whom we know a nameless charm," wrote an early admirer of these stories. A charm like this breathes over the stories which Mrs. Ewing has left as an inheritance for English children, and their elders also for all time." This charm lingers more powerfully over Lob than over any of Mrs. Ewing's books, and wafts us back into a delectable past that recalls Cranford. It is the story of a foundling, and of a Brownie -- of the household elf Lob -- woven together very charmingly in its period setting, and its cleverly drawn characters and plot are compelling and irresistible. There is enough mystery to keep us guessing, but the strength of the story lies in the telling, and the picture it presents of the vanished world of a little country place of a hundred years ago. The Story Of A Short Life was illustrated by Randolph Caldecott.
