Excerpt from Sungleams and ShadowsIn conclusion, let me say I am deeply sensible of the fact that after being before the Public for a quarter of a century, I have, in addition to those of my old friends still surviving in Devon and elsewhere, whose interest in my work has never flagged from the commencement of my literary career, a large and increasing circle of readers in the Midlands, where I have resided during the past fourteen years, to all of whom I tender my most cordial and grateful thanks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
