She was a talented artist and novelist, publishing five novels between 1852 and 1856 under the name of "Talbot Gwynne." . The 'Goblin' of the Story was " in form as a small and dwarfish man, but his head was as that of a cat." Copies known at the BL and Bodley in the NSTC. A superb copy of a 'paperback' book that is well over 160 years old! . Contact me for your preferred colour cover. See Images. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall .
