Cévennes Mountains (France); France -- Description and travel
The late editor of the _Saturday Review_ writes: "The book gives one an
extraordinary impression of reality; it is true, truer even than the
shorthand account of a trial in our Divorce Court. I have enjoyed the
book, and I will maintain before all and sundry that it is a good book,
an excellent book, a book that had to be written."
=N.B.=—The Sales of this remarkable book in the more Expensive Edition
exceeded =200,000 copies=.
WILHELMINA IN LONDON

cushions and exiguous seats."
_Pall Mall Gazette._—"A light, charming piece of literary frivolity."
