*“A series of irresistibly comic verses containing good advice for the young.”
*“The decorations are clever, and so is the verse it contains.”
Fielding, Henry.Selected essays, ed. by Gordon Hall Gerould.*60c. Ginn.
A book designed to introduce Fielding as an essay writer to both college students and general readers. It contains selected essays from his novels, and some of the best work from the “Miscellanies” of 1743 and the periodicals. The text is in most cases based on the first and second editions. A biographical sketch, an introduction, full notes, and an index are provided.
“To the present volume there is prefixed an introduction ... by which we can see that the praise is lavish rather than discriminating.”
Finerty, John Frederick.Ireland: the people’s history of Ireland.*$2.50. Dodd.
The first history of the Irish people “pro-Irish rather than pro-English in spirit and view” since McGee’s “History of Ireland,” three-quarters of a century ago. Mr. Finerty, the president of the United Irish league of America, aims to throw “more light in a simple and comprehensive manner on the history of that beautiful island, the blood of whose exiled children flows in the veins of not less than twenty millions of the American people.” The history, two volumes, is a very rapid survey of Ireland from the earliest period down to the career and ascendency of the fearless avenger of Irish liberty, Parnell.
*“Writes from that patriotic point of view, but with no obvious bias that would prevent him from being fair and trustworthy in regard to opposing views.”
*“It will not do to say that his style is everywhere excellent. If Mr. Finerty had studied the history of his native land in the light of European events, the policies of England would have become intelligible to him, and the ‘People’s history of Ireland’ would have been a far more trustworthy work.” Laurence M. Larson.
“The work before us, despite its prefatory promise of breadth and fair-mindedness, is itself a striking example of the way in which Irish history should not be written. In so far as the ‘political misfortunes’ of Ireland are concerned, bias prevails—the bias of a narrative constructed along pronounced pro-Catholic lines by an uncompromising sympathizer with the Irish cause. Strictly speaking, moreover, the work is not a history, but merely a chronicle in which the familiar superlatives, epithets, and errors of overstatement and understatement are painfully in evidence. There is also room for criticism from the standpoint of proportion.”
Firth, Charles Harding.Plea for the historical teaching of history: an inaugural lecture delivered on November 9, 1904.*35c. Oxford.
In this lecture Prof. Firth finds fault with the present school of history. He also declares history to be neither a science nor an art, “but it partakes of the nature of both. A twofold task lies before the historian. One-half of his business is the discovery of the truth, and the other half its representation.”
“A very plain-spoken expression of opinion, and, as it is always well to have ideals set before us, likely to be useful.”
Firth, John Benjamin.Constantine, the first Christian emperor.**$1.35;**$1.60. Putnam.
“There is ample room for a brief biography of the Emperor Constantine along the lines on which Mr. Firth has constructed his present book. Going directly to contemporary sources, and examining them with an eye keen to the detection of bias, Mr. Firth gives in small compass a careful exposition not only of the career and personality of the first imperial champion of Christianity, but of the period to which he belonged and of the nature and extent of the influence exerted by him on his generation and on posterity. In other words, an analysis is made of the elements essential to a correct evaluation of the validity of Constantine’s claim to greatness.”—Outlook.
“We may, however, fairly criticize the author for having taken no account of some recent investigations which ought not to be ignored.”
“Of this period and of its central figure the author has written sensibly and satisfyingly.”
“Mr. Firth makes a slip at the beginning of the book in speaking of the conquerors of Valerion as the Parthians.”
“Though written as a volume for a popular series, this book should not escape the attention of scholars, since it is based on a first-hand study of the authorities, and is the fruit of independent reflection.”
“It is on the whole, a well balanced piece of work. The book opens with an absurdly bad genealogical table, and continues to practically a dateless limit.”
“Indeed we cannot but feel that, if only through an excess of impartiality, he paints the shadows at times all too deeply. And, for a similar reason, we gain the impression that here and there the pagan receives more and the Christian less than his due. We could wish, too, less disquisition regarding the untrustworthiness of the annalists of the period, less detailed picking of flaws—a habit so pronounced as to become tedious. These blemishes, however, are not vital defects. The work is well arranged, well written, and, with the exceptions noted, well balanced.”
*“We have little but praise of the writer’s treatment of the ecclesiastical and theological side.”
“Mr. Firth’s account of him is an excellent performance.”
“Is an interesting biography and an excellent study of an important phase in the earlier history of Europe.”
Firth, John Benjamin.Highways and byways in Derbyshire. $2. Macmillan.
“Mr. Firth remarks that his book is of ‘narration rather than description.’ He tells the reader where he may profitably go, and what he may expect to see ... [and] takes occasion to mention the literary and historical associations of the places which he visits.”—Spec.
“Mr. Firth’s ‘Derbyshire’ is to the full as thorough and as companionable as any of its predecessors.”
“Mr. Firth, has, beyond doubt, produced some five hundred pages of attractive and interesting reading.”
“Above all, there is a style that stamps the book as more than a guide, yet takes nothing away from its usefulness.”
*“Mr. Firth has a talent for description.”
“There are a few other references to people and scenes of especial interest to the scientific world, but the book will not be valued by these so much as for its bright narrative of literary and historical centers of Derbyshire, and its fine illustrations.”
“The drawings ... are singularly charming—are, in fact, when all is said, the best part of a very good book.”
“The book is rich in literary associations and personal anecdotes, and is decidedly readable.”
“If a little slapdash at times and opinionated, Mr. Firth writes with real spirit.”
“Full of interesting matter.”
Fischer, George Alexander.Beethoven: a character study; with Wagner’s Indebtedness to Beethoven.**$1.40. Dodd.
In this study of the great composer’s life and character is given not only the influences under which he developed but the effect which his work had upon the music of to-day and upon the work of Wagner.
“Is perhaps the most rational, convincing, shrewd, and sympathetic estimate yet made.”
“His method is straightforward enough, but his style is an exasperating journalese, without distinction of any kind. It is not of any special value or significance.”
“It is a character study rather than a biography and criticism. The chapter on humor is one of the best in the book.”
“It is presented in a straightforward style, though without much distinction; and what the author has added in the way of critical estimate is unimportant. Nor has he thrown any new light upon the character and artistic nature of Beethoven.” Richard Aldrich.
“A simple, straightforward, and readable biography. An excellent and useful book for the young amateur of music.”
Fisguill, Richard, pseud. (Richard H. Wilson).Venus of Cadiz.†$1.50. Holt.
An American novel with a decided French twang. The scene is laid in Kentucky with an unsophisticated country girl for a heroine and a mushroom grower for her Adonis. Impossible situations follow one another in rollicking succession which involve cases of mistaken identity, mishaps, and weird meetings of moonshiners in caves. It is rightly called an extravaganza.
“The plot is nought, and the manner everything. A racy and rollicking book it is, warranted to dispel the most chronic case of blues.” Wm. M. Payne.
“It is a rollicking and impossible tale, in which the author gets rather beyond his depth, while the reader is just sufficiently amused to flounder after him in astonishment.”
“Mr. Fisguill’s story is one which might well have remained in manuscript.”
Fish, Carl Russell.Civil service and the patronage.*$2. Longmans.
“This volume deals with a subject which primarily concerns the citizens of the United States ... the history of the ‘Spoils system.’”—Spec.
“The most valuable part of the book is the second section, dealing with the genesis of the spoils system. This is a genuine contribution to the history of the subject.” L. M. S.
“This book is distinctly a history of the patronage, and as such deserves recognition as a valuable contribution in this particular field.” Ward W. Pierson.
“His book is brief but thorough.”
*Fisher, Ruth B.On the borders of Pigmy land,**$1.25. Revell.
“A record of missionary experiences in Central Africa, with interesting descriptions of the country and its people.”—Outlook.
*“Very interesting is the story she tells in this volume—tells with an admirable combination of the humorous and the serious.”
Fitch, William Edwards.Some neglected history of North Carolina, including the battle of Alamance, the first battle of the American revolution. $2. Neale.
“North Carolina’s claim to be the first battleground of the Revolution is zealously advocated in this monograph, which is, briefly, a study of the ‘viper’ episode of 1765.... In it also is incorporated some interesting documentary matter in the way of legislative acts, Regulator’s ‘Advertisements,’ and contemporary letters and addresses.”—Outlook.
“The work is flimsy, incoherent, prejudiced.”
*FitzGerald, Edward.Euphranor: a dialogue on youth.*75c. Lane.
This fifteenth volume of the “New pocket library” contains Euphranor “very fitly presented after the text of the first edition of 1851. Mr. Frederick Chapman, who supplies a preface, dwells upon the value of the little work ... not only as a classic specimen of English prose, but as reflective of Cambridge and its contemporary life, and the author as a part of them.” (Nation.)
*“To possess ‘Euphranor’ in the present convenient form will give pleasure to many lovers of the famous letters and the more famous quatrains.” H. W. Boynton.
*“A pleasing preface. There are some sixty Greek words and more than twenty mistakes.”
Fitzgerald, Edward and Pamela.Edward and Pamela Fitzgerald; being an account of their lives; compiled by Gerald Campbell. $3.50. Longmans.
“A volume compiled by Gerald Campbell [their great grandchild] from the letters of those who knew them, in which is told the ‘life story’ of the Irish rebel leader and his wife. Unlike other memoirs of Lord FitzGerald, this is not founded on Thomas Moore’s ‘Life and death of Lord Edward FitzGerald,’ which appeared in 1831. The letters cover in all a period of sixty years—from 1770 to 1831. The object of the first part of the volume is to give a picture of the home life of Lord Edward’s family, and incidentally portraits of the writer of the epistles. No attempt has been made to give a connected account of the story of his life. The letters have been left to show how he was regarded by those who knew and loved him best.”—N. Y. Times.
“On the whole the work of the editor has been well done.” G. H. O.
Fitzgerald, Percy.Lady Jean, the romance of the great Douglas cause.*$3.60. Wessels.
A revival of the famous Douglas case, the story of Lady Jean Douglas, who at the age of 50 married a broken down gambler in order to provide heirs for her brother’s estates. The author takes the side of the Hamiltons and contends that Lady Jane’s twin boys were hers not by birth but by purchase.
“Mr. Fitzgerald has, in fact, given us a somewhat repellant chapter of gossip, narrated in a style so slipshod as to suggest doubts as to its accuracy in other points.”
*Fitzgerald, Sybil.In the track of the Moors.*$6. Dutton.
“These essays contain no personal reminiscences; they are interpretative rather than descriptive, and they often run far afield into legend, history, politics, race characteristics and development, the inter-play of one race upon another, and other problems remote from the point of view of the guide-book.... It is as a luxurious and leisurely commentary upon travels past or to come, as a collection of delightful essays and beautiful pictures, that ‘In the track of the Moors’ should be judged and enjoyed. The book is the result of collaboration by Sybil and Augustine Fitzgerald, the former furnishing the essays and the latter the pictures. There are sixty-three full-page illustrations excellently printed in color.”—Dial.
*“If the author displays here no great erudition, she certainly shows a real and sympathetic acquaintance with the lands in question, considerable powers of observation, and a pretty taste in the literature of travel.”
*“The essayist is equipped for her task by a thorough knowledge of the subject, a gift for analysis, and the ability to put the results of analysis into trenchant and finished form.”
*“The feature of ‘In the track of the Moors’ lies essentially in its illustrations.”
*“The pictures, much the more satisfactory element, are often charming, although also at times very trivial in subject.”
Fitzmaurice, Edmond George Petty.Life of Granville. 2v. $10. Longmans.
The materials used for Lord Fitzmaurice’s biography are mainly extracts from Lord Granville’s diaries and correspondence, from letters from his mother, from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and from a large group of his political colleagues. “The most striking letters which it contains are those which explain the relations of Queen Victoria to her ministers in respect of the conduct of foreign affairs.... The pleasantest portion of the first volume consists of the diary jottings of Lord Granville contained in his letters to the Governor-General of India.... The most important matter treated in the second volume is Home rule, and here again we find new facts which are material.... There are many interesting passages scattered throughout the portions of the book which deal with modern politics.”
“Impartiality is a virtue of which he never loses sight, and though his book does not give us a clear portrait of Lord Granville, it holds within its covers a mass of facts and documents, with which the historian of the nineteenth century will never be able to dispense.”
“Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice’s book is both interesting and important.”
“Lord Edmond has put together a vast amount of interesting and entertaining information about many people besides Lord Granville. Lord Granville’s own personal charm was perhaps too evanescent a quality to be reproduced on paper.”
“Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice has done a very good piece of work in his life of Lord Granville.”
“Even Mr. John Morley has not drawn so full a picture of the unfortunate Cabinet of 1880 as Lord Edmond has been able to supply, and it is certain that no future writer will be able to address himself to this period unless he has thoroughly studied Lord Edmond’s volumes.”
Flandrau, Rebecca Blair, tr. SeeKielland, Alexander.Professor Lovdahl.
Fletcher, A. E.Thomas Gainsborough.*$1.25. Scribner.
A volume in the “Makers of British art” series. “If, in the present volume, we are not taught much as to Gainsborough’s technique we gain a good picture of Gainsborough’s age and its degradation in taste; of Gainsborough’s family; of the famous Bath period (the turning point in the painter’s career of Gainsborough’s landscape work) and its relation to Constable’s; of the London life, the king’s favor, the Academy, and, finally, the noble passing. Of the great triumvirate of English portrait painters—Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Romney—working at the same time, Gainsborough was not only the most brilliant artist in, but also the founder of the English landscape school.” (Outlook).
“Excellent thought and carefully gauged appreciation is conveyed in a too dramatic, one might almost say, journalistic, tone.”
“Mr. Fletcher has nothing new or important to tell us of Gainsborough’s art, but he has succeeded, in spite of the handicap of a wordy and inefficient style, in writing a fairly entertaining biography.”
“Mr. Fletcher’s is the latest of the rapidly increasing number of Gainsborough biographies. His is a good biography, but not a remarkable book of criticism. For that one will seek Sir Walter Armstrong’s book; not that entire satisfaction is to be had from it either.”
Fletcher, Banister, and Fletcher, Banister Flight.History of architecture.*$6. imp. Scribner.
A fifth edition, revised and enlarged. The volume is intended for students, craftsmen, and the general reader. It contains over 2000 illustrations including photographs of buildings, exteriors and interiors, maps, plans, and diagrams, and includes a bibliography, a glossary, and a full index.
“The present edition is certainly an improvement on the former ones in clarity and fulness of information.”
“Is a veritable encyclopedia of its subject, and presents in compact form an immense amount of information.”
“The peculiar excellence and convenience of this work....”
Fletcher, Charles Robert Leslie.Introductory history of England, from the earliest times to the close of the middle ages.*$2. Dutton.
“Mr. Fletcher’s book is ‘introductory’ in a double sense. Besides being intended for boys, it stops at the beginning of the Tudor period. In style, it is explanatory, and the author is enabled, by excising a large number of subjects, to treat those that remain with tolerable fulness of detail.”—Nation.
“He gives a fresh and really interesting connected narrative of England’s emergence from barbarism and the beginnings of her national and institutional life. There are surely very many older readers who will find the book more fascinating than most novels.”
“Mr. Fletcher’s avowed object is to avoid intolerable dulness, even when discoursing of the Norman conquest; and without further delay we may as well state that he has succeeded. The dry-as-dust critic might pick holes in some of his statements. But Mr. Fletcher has a grasp of essentials, and some lapses may well be condoned in the case of one whose light touch really does lend interest to the mediaeval history of England.”
“The book he has now given us is eminently characteristic, full of his own energetic, practical activity, his love of health, fresh air, and good exercise. Mr. Fletcher’s story is, in the main, highly intelligible and adequately consecutive. He has certainly given us here a sketch of living men by a living man. Peculiarly interesting is the picture attempted of an imaginary village in pre-Norman, Norman, and post-Norman times. A word must also be said in praise of the capital little chapter of geological history.”
Fletcher, Margaret.Light for new times: a book for Catholic girls. 60c. Benziger.
Four essays which aim to help Catholic girls to enter upon the life which succeeds school days with some practical warning as to what the realities of life will be. They are entitled, Without the way there is no going; Liberty; Responsibility; and Professional life.
*“Miss Fletcher really meets a serious want. Her work is of a high order; her aim is in the right direction.”
Flint, Austin.Handbook of physiology.*$5. Macmillan.
The author states that this book is the outgrowth of “a desire to present to students a work that may serve to connect pure physiology with the physiology especially useful to physicians.... I have endeavored to adapt it to the curricula of medical schools where the subject is taught in the English language.... The subject has been treated from a medical standpoint, not unduly neglecting, it is hoped, pure physiology and biology.”
“We cannot leave it without a word of recognition for the extraordinarily lucid style which this veteran professor ... has achieved. It might well be the envy if not the despair of professional writers.”
Flint, George Elliot.Power and health through progressive exercise.*$1.50. Baker.
In a plea for heavy work in the gymnasium, the author lays aside light weight systems, and outlines a course in heroic strength-development. He maintains that “it is not much work requiring many slight efforts, but much less work requiring great efforts that make the best quality of brain and brawn.”
*Flood, William H. Grattan.Story of the harp.*$1.25. Scribner.
The history of the harp is given in this volume, from its earliest form in Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia, also its use in the Jewish temples and Christian churches, its appearance in Ireland, with a full description of Irish harps and harpists, and a discussion of the increasing use of the harp in the orchestra. There are appendices upon the Æolian harp, and Epochs in the history of harp-making. The volume is illustrated.
*“A more definite plan, a more skillful presentation, a more detailed and critical discussion and description would have made a book more valuable to the student and not less agreeable to the general reader.” Richard Aldrich.
Flower, Elliott.Best policy.†$1.50. Bobbs.
Dave Murray, special insurance agent, is the central figure about whom center the incidents which fill these twelve stories. All phases of the life insurance plea are presented, including comedy, tragedy, speculation, failure, error, sacrifice and grievance.
“Considered as fiction the book is one of the brightest and best volumes of short stories of the season.”
*“The insurance companies of the country should pay Mr. Flower a royalty on this book.”
“This is a timely book, unique and interesting.”
“It would make an excellent guide for young insurance agents in the art of soliciting business.”
“The fact that his stories are good ones, or would be if it were not for the trail of the serpent of bitter knowledge that lies over them, only adds to the seriousness of his offense.”
Flower, Elliott.Slaves of success.†$1.50. Page.
These eight short stories form a study in state politics. The grafter, the boss, the spoilsman, the reformer, the honest country member of the legislature, all are true to their parts and serve to bring out the various phases of American business and political methods as viewed from the inside.
“The eight chapters of ‘Slaves of success’ are rather as many narratives than stories.” Churchill Williams.
“Is rather a series of sketches than a novel, and the chapters have very unequal merit.”
“One of the many merits of his book is that it is not one of unalloyed pessimism. ‘Slaves of success’ is not only of absorbing interest, but, if as widely read as it deserves, cannot fail of being a power for good.”
Flux, A. W.Economic principles: an introductory study.*$2. Dutton.
Prof. Flux has written an introductory text book and has rendered it unsatisfactory for advanced work by giving no references, save in a general way. His object is to avoid introducing controversies which would interest only students more advanced than those for whomhe wrote, and to give himself more freedom of expression than would be possible if he gave credit for each point of doctrine to those who first defined it. The work is, on the whole, of the classical point of view, as found in Marshall, but whatever the economic prejudices of the reader, he will find the work accurate and thoro, as well as modern.
“It is not too much to say that the book is pretty nearly everything else than a textbook could be fairly expected to be; but it is not that. It is accurate, thoughtful, forceful, thorough, critical, logical, learned, temperate, clear; but it is difficult, abstract, and over-condensed; even for the practised economist it is hard reading. This is not to imply that it is not surpassingly well worth while, a positive contribution to the literature and thought of the science—it is all of this; but that only very advanced classes will find the book possible of handing; and for these it covers too wide a field, and can be of great service only for reference purposes or for collateral reading. On the whole, a work of great merit and significance. So much the more could better treatment from the publisher, especially in point of binding, have fairly been expected.” H. J. Davenport.
“It is in some important respects one of the most satisfactory systematic treatises on economics to appear within recent years.”
Forbes, J. T.Socrates. $1.25. Scribner.
The latest in the “World’s epoch makers” series. The political conditions of Socrates’ time, the civic ideal, and the religion of the Greeks are discussed in the introduction. With the environment of the philosopher’s activity established, the author shows how he developed his great system which looks upon the individual as the moral unit.
“Mr. Forbes has done a real service to the educated public by issuing a bright, sound estimate, biographical and critical, of the charm and limitations attaching to the Greek primal path.” James Moffatt.
“While his work is conscientious and sufficiently thorough, it is not always interesting, nor do the discussions leave a clean and clear impression.”
“It is an exacting as well as a fascinating subject, and its demands for a comprehensive view and critical insight are well met in the present volume.”
*Ford, Paul Leicester.His version of it.†$1.50. Dodd.
“The pretty little fiction of the horses’ interest in the love affairs of Miss Fairley—who was ‘a beauty, but not what her mother was at her age’—and the noble Major, while the odious Mr. Lewis played the despicable role of villain, is told with great vivacity by the prime movers, the horses.... The book is attractively illustrated by Mr. Henry Hutt, and should be a pretty addition to any Ford collection.”—N. Y. Times.
*“Charming story.”
*“One of the cleverest of this author’s short stories.”
Forman, Justus Miles.Island of enchantment.†$1.75. Harper.
A romance of Italy in the fourteenth century. The hero is a young captain sent by the Doge of Venice to rescue the island of Arbe from the forces of the Ban of Bosnia. “The story is full of passionate doings and conflicts of love and honor.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Told with gentle and straightforward English that must surely charm. The very simplicity and directness of the plot and prose give the volume its chief character.”
*“Mr. Forman knows how to mingle love, war and intrigue in a way to compel his reader’s interest, and he has never succeeded better than in this novelette.”
Forman, Justus Miles.Tommy Carteret.†$1.50. Doubleday.
“The story, which has its beginning in a New York ballroom, goes far. It takes Tommy from his first lovemaking, and assigns him to the nobler role of volunteer scapegoat for the amatory sins of a handsome and heedless father. It exiles the young man ... to ... the back country. It exposes him to weird temptations, comes within an ace of marrying him to a dark-eyed, black-haired hill beauty, threatens him with tar and feathers, puts a bullet into his head, and when hospitals and the doctors....”—N. Y. Times.
“‘Tommy Carteret’ is poor stuff. It is aréchauffé.”
“This story is fundamentally unsound, superficially clever, and for the most part entertaining.”
“The story is one of unusual cleverness, and full of surprises to the end.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
“‘Tommy Carteret’ is quite readable, even entertaining, though it is the kind of book some superior persons sneer at and consign to the limbo of nothingness.”
“The book is full of sentimental absurdities and affectation, and in the end degenerates into a most unpleasant pseudo-pathological study.”
“A book that unites so much power and charm, so much insight and kindliness and truth.”
“In spite of its faults, therefore, it is impossible to condemn the novel entirely, though it is difficult to read it without feelings of sorrow that so vigorous a pen should be employed in so vulgar a manner.”
Forman, Samuel Eagle.Advanced civics: the spirit, the form, and the function of the American government.*$1.25. Century.
Dr. Forman says, “I have constantly kept in mind the truth that instruction in Civics should have for its aim the indoctrination of the learner in sound notions of political morality.... In Part I. the underlying principles of our government are presented. The essentials are placed first in order.... In Part II. is an account of the governmental machine. In Part III. the every-day work of government is considered and the practical problems connected with the work are discussed.”
“A thoughtful, compact, direct, and comprehensive account of the machinery, operation, and problems of the governmental system.”
Fortier, S.Progress report of co-operative irrigation investigations in California.
“One of the most interesting lines of work here described is an investigation of pumping water for irrigation, by Prof. J. N. Le Conte, of the University of California, and others. Thus far descriptions of 750 pumping plants have been secured. Both field and laboratory tests of pumping plants have been made. These are here summarized briefly, but will be reported on more fully at a later date. Studies of evaporation and methods of applying water to land are also described in the pamphlet.”—Engin. N.
Foster, John Watson.Arbitration and the Hague court.**$1. Houghton.
“A brief review of events dealing with arbitration up to the convention of The Hague peace conference. It gives the circumstances under which that conference was called, the reasons why The Hague was appropriate for such an assemblage, and the eminent men employed and spirit of the conference.”—Bookm.
“The exposition is clear, the conclusions logical.”
“This is a valuable hand book. His book, however, has the peculiar value of being historical and impersonal.”
“His publication, important in more than one respect, is, so far as we know, the first to give, in a small compass and an interesting way, the present status of arbitration and its practice under the Hague convention.”
Fox, Frances Margaret.Rainbow bridge.†$1.25. Wilde.
From the “little pilgrims’ home” Marian Lee traverses her rainbow bridge to the ideal home of her dreams where love and privileges abound.
*“Another interesting, natural story.”
