Excerpt

Many writers have suffered injustice in being known as the author of
but one book.  Robinson Crusoe was not Defoe’s only masterpiece, nor
did Bunyan confine his best powers to Pilgrim’s Progress.  Not one
person in ten of those who read Lorna Doone is aware that several of
Blackmore’s other novels are almost equally charming.  Such, too, has
been the fate of Johanna Spyri, the Swiss authoress, whose reputation
is mistakenly supposed to rest on her story of Heidi.
