" Smart and brightly written . . . several are distinctly humorous, but
all are extremely readable.”—Yorkshire Post.
” Mrs. Jacob in this volume shows much greater versatility than in her
long novels, without at the same time losing anything of her technical skill
and sincerity of manner. It is a notable collection.”—Morning Leader.
STORIES TOLD BY THE MILLER. With
7 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 6s.
“The most delightful volume of fairy stories we have read this year.
They are written in a charming manner, and ought to take their place
among the classics of the nursery.”—Court Journal.
“ The stories are unaffected and void of pretence. They are fairy tales.
We should be sorry for the child who could not enjoy them, and we fancy
the average grown-up who begins the book by reading it aloud to little
folk will go on with it for his or her own entertainment. . . . The im¬
possible and charming are here dealt with so simply and unconventionally
as to be delightfully acceptable. We have read good work in fiction by
this author ; but she has written nothing more worthy of her talent or her
sex than this pleasant book.."—Athenaum.

refreshing as a summer gale.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

| Description | Violet Jacob (1863-1946) was born into an aristocratic family who had lived at the House of Dun near Montrose since the 15th century. Her classic novel of the 1745 Jacobite rising, 'Flemington” (1911), was highly regarded by John Buchan and is still in print. Jacob had a deep appreciation of the Angus dialect and countryside, and this is evident in her celebrated Scots language poetry in volumes such as 'Song of Angus' (1915). |
