In her new book, “The Soul of Unrest,” Miss Jenkinson amply fulfils
the promise shown in her first novel, “Silverwool,” which was so
favourably received by the public two years ago. Here once again the
author delineates her various characters with great sympathy and
understanding, while her descriptions of their environment is marked by
that quiet strength and charm which so distinguished her earlier work.
Tinker’s Hollow. _By Mrs. F. E. CRICHTON, Author of “The Soundless
Tide,” “Peep-in-the-World,” etc. 6s._
The story moves in a Presbyterian village in Co. Antrim, in Victorian
days. Here Sally Bruce’s childhood is passed amid the kindly austerity
of old servants and an elderly uncle and aunts. Her acquaintance with
the Beausires, an old Huguenot family settled in the same county,
leads to the discovery of a kindred spirit in Anthony, the last of the
line. Their few meetings are the only outward events of her life, and
one spring morning in the Tinker’s Hollow they realize their love for
each other. Their lives throughout are interwoven with those of the
Irish country people――Rachael, the old nurse, Mrs. McGovern of the
post-office, and the unhappy young school-mistress, Esther Conway.

can create characters, quite original, and, as it were, not fanciful,

something really good in contemporary fiction one has pleasure in
saying how excellent one finds the rarity.”――Mr. ANDREW LANG in the
