Dwell Deep; Or, Hilda Thorn's Life Story (dodo Press)

Amy le Feuvre who died in 1929 was a prolific author of children's books with a strong Christian message. Amongst her famous works are: Teddy's Button (1896), Probable Sons (1895), His Big Opportunity (1898), A Puzzling Pair (1898), Bulbs and Blossoms (1898), A Cherry Tree (1901), The Making of a Woman (1903), The Buried Ring (1905) and The Chateau by the Lake (1907). "A golden cornfield in the still sunshine of a warm August afternoon. In one corner of it, bordering a green lane, a group of shady elms, and under their shadow a figure of a young girl, who, gazing dreamily before her, sat leaning her head against an old gnarled trunk in quiet content. A small-shaped head, with dark curly hair, and a pair of blue-grey eyes with black curved lashes, these were perhaps her chief characteristics; more I cannot say, for it is difficult to describe oneself, and it was I, Hilda Thorn, who was seated there."
