AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A series of moralising snippets on the reactions of a small domestic circle, arranged in the order of the months ...Winifred James is neither a novelist nor an essayist, though in her imaginitive writings she shows traces of both. The 'first person' approach ... suits her genius more than does an objective presentation; she is fond of the role of preceptor.' (Morris Miller, Australian Literature, 1940)

Notes

  • A parody of E. F. Benson's 'A Reaping'.
