A Tale of the Don Valley. By Mrs. R. H. READ. With 6 full-page
Illustrations by JOHN SCHOeNBERG, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._
The story of a girl and boy. The chief interest centres around Ruth,
who is supposed to be the orphan child of a working-man, but who
eventually turns out to be the daughter of the cynical, though
essentially kind-hearted, owner of Silver Mill. In tracing the
character of Ruth as she develops from an impulsive girl to noble
womanhood, the author has drawn a picture at once pleasing and
suggestive.
