A forgotten gem
Curate Frank Wentworth is a thorough gentleman, but an impoverished one. He is well-liked in the quiet village of Carlingford, where he does important work in the poor district of the parish. But when the newly-appointed Rector Mr. Morgan arrives in Carlingford, he resents the extra duties the curate is performing without official sanction, and the two men get off to a bad start. Frank's three ...

Phoebe, Junior (Nonsuch Classics)
Margaret Oliphant

Nonsuch Publishing, 2006

Phoebe, Junior , the last of the tales that made up the Chronicles of Carlingford, brought to a close one of British literature?s best-loved series. First published in BLACKWOOD?S MAGAZINE, a literary institution in its day, this series included Miss Marjoribanks (1866) in its number, the work for which the author is perhaps best remembered. Phoebe, Junior , however, has long been regarded as a wonderful tale in its own right, a hidden ...

An unacknowledged gem!
This must be one of the funniest books I've ever read--I hadn't laughed out loud like this since Catch-22.

The scene in which Miss Marjoribanks figuratively usurps her ...

Salem Chapel
Margaret Oliphant

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1986

His mother drew one of her hands out of his, laid it on his head, and fondly smoothed back his hair. "My dear good son! you were always so sensible--I wish you had never left us," she said, with a little groan; "and indeed it was a great thought to undertake such a journey; and since I came here, Arthur, I have felt so flurried and strange, that I have not, as you see, even taken off my bonnet; but I think now you've come, dear, if you would ...
