There is a crisp and breezy freshness about her delightful\r\nnovelettes that is rarely found in contemporaneous fiction, and a close\r\nadherence to nature, as well, that renders them doubly delicious. Of all\r\nMrs. Burnett's romances and shorter stories those which first attracted\r\npublic attention to her wonderful gifts are still her best. She has done\r\nmore mature work, but never anything half so pleasing and enjoyable.\r\nThese masterpieces of Mrs. Burnett's genius are all love stories of the\r\nbrightest, happiest and most entertaining description; lively, cheerful\r\nlove stories in which the shadow cast is infinitesimally small compared\r\nwith the stretch of sunlight; and the interest is always maintained at\r\nfull head without apparent effort and without resorting to the\r\nconventional and hackneyed devices of most novelists, devices that the\r\nexperienced reader sees through at once. No more sprightly novel than\r\n\"Theo\" could be desired, and a sweeter or more beautiful romance than\r\n\"Kathleen\" does not exist in print, while \"Pretty Polly Pemberton\"\r\npossesses besides its sprightliness a special interest peculiar to\r\nitself, and \"Miss Crespigny\" would do honor to the pen of any novelist,\r\nno matter how celebrated. \"Lindsay's Luck,\" \"A Quiet Life,\" \"The Tide on\r\nthe Moaning Bar\" and \"Jarl's Daughter\" are all worthy members of the\r\nsame collection of Mrs. Burnett's earlier, most original, best and\r\nfreshest romances. Everybody should read these exceptionally bright,\r\nclever and fascinating novelettes, for they occupy a niche by themselves\r\nin the world's literature and are decidedly the most agreeable, charming\r\nand interesting books that can be found anywhere.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 27990 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Burnett, Frances Hodgson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 4, 2009 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Burnett, Frances Hodgson,1849-1924 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218989351069,"sku":"gb-27990-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/27990.jpg?v=1671511512","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/theo-a-sprightly-love-story-gb-27990","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
