Dealer Notes

One of the Shilling Books from Uncle Dick’s Library; fellow titles included Beatrice and Brian by Helen Briston: “A very prettily told story about a wayward little lady and a large mastiff dog, specially adapted for girls” (Derbyshire Advertiser). The brief publisher’s catalogue bound in at the rear advertises “Foolscap 8vo, 128 pp. Cloth, gilt lettered”; a description that doesn’t fit this book: perhaps, a later, cheaper binding? Moreover, the Bodleian’s copy includes a 16-page publisher’s catalogue.

Emilie Searchfield (1844–1911) wrote around 20 titles for children between 1876-1900, often with a religious bent.
