Reviews

[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an entertaining book of stories set in mid Victorian England. It gives a good picture of the life and attitudes of the day. Some of the religious aspects will probably be too mawkish for many modern day readers but one just had to remember when it was written and set.

I have translated "The mystery at Nr.7" into russian for our "Not only Holmes: Anthology of victorian mystery". The book is to appear in bookshops(I hope so!) this year.
