Only a Butterfly by Georgiana M. Clark reviewed
A review notes Miss Craik’s brightness but calls the novel a quiet experiment likely to limit popular appeal. Hilda Fowl, a lively but immature heroine, charms through whim and beauty, while Mrs. Erle and the artist son provide contrast. The critique praises style and character insight but cites weak dramatic driving force.
