Novel 306: Mary Cholmondeley, Sir Charles Danvers (1889)

June 22, 2024 David Bywaters

Atkinson Grimshaw, Stapleton Park near Pontefract


On the death of her cosmopolitan grandmother, a virtuous young lady is sent to live with a rector uncle in a dull town.


This is a sort of sequel to last fortnight’s novel, though much longer, and very different in tone.

“The author’s somewhat dangerous experiment—at this early period of her career—in continuing some of the threads of her first story has been entirely justified in its execution. The hero is at least as humorous as ever, the new heroine is also very sprightly and amusing.” Athenaeum, November 9, 1889

“Novels so amusing, so brightly written, so full of simple sense and witty observation . . . are not found every day.” Saturday Review, December 7, 1889
