The Heir of Redclyffe

Front Cover

Kessinger Publishing, Dec 1, 2004 - Fiction - 528 pages
1905. Yonge was one of the most prolific and successful writers of the Victorian era. In her lifetime she published well over 100 books in several genres including history, biography, adult fiction, and children's historical fiction. The Heir of Redclyffe begins: The drawing-room of Hollywell House was one of the favored apartments, where a peculiar air of home seems to reside, whether seen in the middle of summer, all its large windows open to the garden, or, as when our story commences, its bright fire and stands of fragrant greenhouse plants contrasted with the wintry fog and leafless trees of November. There were two persons in the room-a young lady, who sat drawing at the round table, and a youth, lying on a couch near the fire, surrounded with books and newspapers, and a pair of crutches near him. Both looked up with a smile of welcome at the entrance of a tall, fine-looking young man, whom each greeted with Good morning, Philip.

I was disappointed with this, knowing of its huge contemporary success, and having loved 'Pillars of the House' and 'The Daisy Chain'. Those novels, while pious and moral, at least had credible ... Read full review
