⸺ ONORA. Pp. 354. (_Grant Richards_). 1900. A story of country life in Waterford in the days of the Land League. Eviction scenes. Life in Land League huts on the Ponsonby Estate. Has a strong emotional interest, with much study of the family affections and of the interplay of character. Many touches of humour. Highly praised in English literary reviews. Incidentally there are glimpses of Mount Melleray and of the scenery on the Blackwater. The sterling goodness of obscure people is rendered with womanly sympathy. Interwoven with the main story is that of Norah’s little lame poet brother Deelan, a pathetic episode. Also folk-tales and ballads. ⸺ TERRY. Pp. 112. (_Blackie_). Thirteen good illustr. by E. A. Cabitt. 1902. Scene: West of Ireland.

(_Sands_). [1903]. Second ed., 2_s._ 6_d._ 1914. Sheelia, the little workhouse girl, is boarded out with Mary Ellen Brady, and lives a happy life with her in her cottage in the fold of the hills. But Mary Ellen dies, and Sheelia, to escape dependence on the worthless cousins of her dead “Mammy,” runs away to Dublin. Here she is friendless and penniless till she becomes a flower-girl under the tutorship of Chris. Tragedy comes when Chris disappears (she had been decoyed away to London and made a “white slave”), and Sheelia makes it her life work to find her again. She does so, but in the saddest circumstances. The pitiful story is told with perfect delicacy. Scene: Dublin, various other parts of Ireland, and London. ⸺ THE STORY OF ELLEN. Pp. 434. (_Burns & Oates_). 5_s._ 1907. This is a reprint of an earlier story entitled _Dunmara_ (Smith, Elder), _q.v._ ⸺ OUR SISTER MAISIE. Pp. 383. (_Blackie_). 6_s._ Illustr. by G.

There is a pretty love-story towards the close. ⸺ COUSIN SARA. Pp. 399. (_Blackie_). 6_s._ Eight fine illustr. by Frances Ewan. 1908. An ideal love-story woven into a strong plot.

Then Sara shows her true worth.
