A WELSH SHEPHERD'S

FAMILY

"TuLLAce or THB Poon, Painter. "(dol Gown Murray?) "London By, Gartry 102

The authoress gives a very good description of she life in Wales and she has a knack of making her readers see things through the eyes of her various characters—there is some very clever character drawing in this book. A Welsh shepherd's family are portrayed and how each of the members develops and fares forms the theme of the story. How first one girl in her desire for riches leaves home and drifts into a life of immorality in London and how ater on another girl, Iured by the material success of her elder sister, goes the same way, is convincingly told; the visits of the erring ones to the old people, who up to the Very end, are in ignorance of where the money, which helps. out their pitiful existence, comes from are well described and the whole book is eminently readable.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
