Excerpt from Lord Oakburn's Daughters, Vol. 3 of 3The afternoon's sun was shining on South vven nock: shining especially hard and full upon a small cottage standing by itself down Blister Lane. More especially did it appear to be shining upon a stout lady who was seated on a chair, placed midway in the narrow path leading from the little entrance gate to the cottage door. Her dress was light, what could be seen of it for snuff, - and so broad was she, taking up the width of the path and a great deal more, that She looked like a great tower, planted there to guard the approach of the cottage against assaulters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Biographies & Memoirs

Palala Press

Ellen Wood (nee Price, 1814-87) was an English novelist better known as Mrs Henry Wood who is best remembered for her 1861 novel East Lynne. Many of her other novels became international bestsellers, achieving great popularity in the US, and she surpassed the fame of Charles Dickens in Australia. In 1867 she purchased the English magazine The Argosy which had been started two years earlier, and many of her novels were serialised in the magazine prior to book publication. She continued as editor until her death when her son, Charles Wood, took over. In addition to her novels she also wrote numerous short stories, including the popular Johnny Ludlow series and several in the genre of supernatural fiction. This story set in a boys' college is reprinted from the Tauchnitz edition of 1861.
