Mrs. Gaskell's masterpiece, which Lord Houghton described as (p. 226)
"the finest piece of humoristic description that has been added to
British literature since Charles Lamb."
Calm and composure breathe from every page of this picture of life in
a small English town during the first half of the nineteenth century.
Have we not all in imagination visited Miss Jenkyns and Miss Matty,
played preference at Miss Betty Barker's, and helped the Honorable
Mrs. Jamieson into her sedan chair? Many girls of fourteen are quite
able to appreciate the book's charm.
