Frances Hodgson Burnett 
His Grace of Osmonde 

A remarkable story, which probably marked a unique experiment in fiction at the time it was first published. In it Mrs. Burnett has written the mans’ side of the story, the woman side of which was given in her very successful ’Lady of Quality’ – and she has thus given an additional piquancy and interest to a story which could not have failed to be most widely read for its intrinsic strength and its forceful delineation of characters.
