Brownie and Other Tales Showcasing Ward Blue Bell Line
A literary column reviews Brownie by C. W. Bardsley and other titles in the Blue Bell series, praising true love and well drawn characters. It notes My Star by Bertue Vanier, A Little Western Flower by M. C. Helmore, Only a Penny by the author of A Trap to Catch a Sunbeam, and several religious and moral tales. The piece commends translation, quality, and the sentimental yet healthy reading value across multiple volumes from Marcus Ward and Co. and W. Wells Gaekbner publishers.
