information about this edition

Extracted from Windsor magazine, vol. 26, June-October 1907, pp. 19-31, etc.

Helena's Path has an outward framework of actuality, the atmosphere of present-day English country life; yet into this he has infused a certain spirit of old-time chivalry and homage that gives to his whole picture something of the grace and charm of a Watteau landscape. The whole theme of the volume, which is scarcely more than a novelette, concerns itself with a right of way. The hero's estates lie somewhere on the east coast of England; but between his land and the strip of beach where he and his fathers before him have for generations been in the habit of bathing lies the property which the heroine has recently purchased; and, unaware of any right of way, she closes up the gate through "Helena's Path" which it is his habit to pass for his daily swim. … —Extracted from a review by Frederic Taber Cooper: "The Convention of Romance and Some Recent Books" in The Bookman Nov. 1907
