'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: but at Lingborough the spring wind is blowing, and strange things are happening to hold our attention from the first page to the last. 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. Charlotte Yonge, herself a distinguished author, considered this story to be among the best of Mrs Ewing's exquisite pieces. The Story Of A Short Life uses the British Army background with which Mrs Ewing was so familiar, and is most poignant in its revelation of the suffering and courage of a spoilt child, whose dearest ambitions were never to be fulfilled.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
