By means of original incident and keen portraiture, "Miss Ayr of
Virginia, and Other Stories," is made a decidedly readable collection.
In the initial tale the character of the young Southern girl is
especially well drawn; Miss Magruder's most artistic work, however, is
found at the end of the volume, under the title "Once More."--_The
Outlook_.
The contents of "Miss Ayr of Virginia" are not less fascinating than
the cover. * * * These tales * * * are a delightful diversion for a
spare hour. They are dreamy without being candidly realistic, and are
absolutely refreshing in the simplicity of the author's style.--_Boston
Herald_.
Julia Magruder's stores are so good that one feels like reading
passages here and there again and again. In the collection, "Miss Ayr
of Virginia and Other Stories," she is at her best, and "Miss Ayr of
Virginia," has all the daintiness, the point and pith and charm which
the author so well commands. The portraiture of a sweet,
unsophisticated, pretty, smart Southern girl is
bewitching.--_Minneapolis Times_.
With a cover designed by F. R. Kimbrough. 16mo. $1.25.
