"'The Earl's Granddaughter' relates the doings of quite the most delightful family that I have ever met with in books, in the children of Colonel and Mrs. Gabb. They are original, fearless, clever, helpful, and intensely lovable. The account of their first visit to London, given by the Gabb children to Lady Patty, is simply delightful." THE SATURDAY REVIEW. "A more delightful book for girls than this one we have seldom read. On little Lady Patty, the Earl's Granddaughter alone, is lavished enough of character-drawing to stock an average novel. She and her delightful little friends, the Colonel's daughters, are living and breathing girls, and more good might be done by the tale of their doings than by many a volume of sermons.... The book, as we have said, is entirely delightful, full of health and humour. It is refreshing to be able to praise anything so unreservedly." THE GUARDIAN. "The various characters and habits of the country townsfolk are almost worthy of 'Cranford,' and the relations between the wild merry family of the Gabbs, and the spoilt and educated, rather haughty and conceited young aristocrat, are thoroughly original and very droll." THE LEEDS MERCURY. "Brenda is excelled by few in her sketches of child-life, and in 'The Earl's Granddaughter' she has given us a story breezy, varied, and interesting enough to delight all who may be happy enough to possess it. The lives of the children at the Bungalow, and of plain clever Lady Patty, cannot fail to charm." THE RECORD. "'The Earl's Granddaughter' is certainly among the best work of this popular writer. Some of the character-sketches indeed are worthy of Charles Dickens himself.... It is a long time since we have read so bright, so fresh, and so clever a tale, with so valuable a purpose as 'The Earl's Granddaughter.'" JOHN F SHAW & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. LONDON: JOHN F.
