A lovely book, and one that I will reread soon! The modern reader might find the story a little cliched -- the unacknowledged son of a noble family being 'farmed out', growing up in humble surroundings, finding his genius, and discovering at last who his true parents are. But it is well told, the characters are very engaging and the author's observations are intelligent and often witty. Some bits are rather harrowing; I wish there weren't so many deaths. But I suppose it reflects the reality of the rural scene in those days (early 19th century, perhaps, or earlier). But the sad bits are offset by some really hilarious ones -- Jan's draaings (sic) of pigs had me in splits. Altogether a very good read! This is a book I've remembered ever since I read an excerpt from it in a cousin's English reader some forty years ago. In those days, we didn't own many books, but borrowed, scrounged and read anything we could lay our hands on. I really loved the excerpt -- in which Jan paints a sign for the local pub -- but never managed to get hold of the book. Recently, I was looking for free Kindle books on Gutenberg. And there was my old friend Jan! Chalk up one childhood yearning fulfilled, minus the disappointment that usually attends such events. When I looked up this book on Goodreads, I was shocked to find it had only one review, despite its quality and venerability. Juliana Horatia Ewing was a popular children's writer in her time, but unlike other Victorian writers like Dickens, Hardy and George Eliot, her books seem to have been long out of print. It's a mystery to me why she's been so completely forgotten. I do hope this review will spark some interest in an author who deserves to be read and enjoyed.(less)

Not as good as the subsequent books. Must be my squeamish vegetarian stomach rebelling against the gory descriptions of hunting and meat curing. Also, Laura is not yet a real person in this book, just a baby.(less)

Did you know Trollope invented the post box? How clever is that? And his books are just as clever. Barchester Towers is a good place to begin if you haven't read him before, with its varied and entertaining cast of characters, compelling moral dilemmas and Austenesque humour. Lovely!(less)
