Memories of Vailima by Stevenson's Stepchildren
A review of Memories of Vailima by Isabel Strong and Lloyd Osbourne portrays Stevenson as the beloved, central figure at Vailima. The memoirs mix diary notes, anecdotes of his dictation at work on St Ives Hermiston and Ballantine, and Samoa life notes. The book also details Samoan discipline, the household’s routine, and the family’s loyal native friends amid portraits of Tusitala and his work environment.

The Lady's Honor Chronicle Review
A brief critique of Bass Blake's A Chronicle of Events in the Time of Marlborough. The review notes a lightly valued honor plot involving Mrs or Miss Blake's book and Adam Crighton. Characters lack liveliness, with Katherine's choice left to fate and the Count edging ahead only slightly.
