A lavender scented romance, a real love idyl, amid beauty of life, thought and deed.

"The first hundred pages are a combination of Mavis's outpourings to her diary and a series of letters exchanged between her and 'Richard Warren,' author of 'The lyric hour,' a book of verse that enchants her. She is a semi-invalid, although in the course of the story she becomes completely cured, and the correspondence gradually develops into a momentous thing in her daily life. 'Richard Warren' is a nom de plume, and one guesses too early in the game that it is the pen-name of the young Dr. Denton who attends her. She detests Dr. Denton, and love comes to her through the mysterious 'Richard Warren.' If one gave away the manner in which this entanglement of emotions and personalities is handled, one could divulge the essence of the book." -The New York Times

"It is clean and bright and written with a certain freshness, charm and sensitiveness that are reminiscent of Myrtle Reed and those of a similar school. There is a sweetness and purity about it that smacks of poetry." -Boston Transcript
