THE DREAM-CHARLOTTE.

BY M. BETHAM-EDWARDS.


Crown 8vo, cloth, price 6s.

'Miss Betham-Edwards is on her own special ground in her new novel,
which she calls "The Dream-Charlotte." Provincial France of the
Revolution time she knows with a detailed knowledge few other English
writers, if any, possess. It is a first-rate novel for youth, because of
its irresistible, contagious youthfulness; and its wholesome
enthusiasms.'--_The Sketch._

'An historical novel of a thoroughly legitimate kind, for the picture
and the character are brought before us with sufficient vividness, yet
mainly through the words and thoughts of the fictitious heroine, and
through her close sympathy with her friend.'--_Athenæum._

'A tale of rare imaginative beauty. Needless to say, the literary charm
of the book is great, and the atmosphere of the story true to its
historical setting.'--_Dundee Advertiser._

'No living writer is so thoroughly at home in describing French life as
Miss Edwards is, or better able to give a life-like picture of the
social condition of France at the period of Charlotte Corday's daring
deed.'--_Hastings Observer._
