2008Best.-Nr. 2351653New York: Penguin Classics 2008. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 7x5x1. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 2008 Hard Cover. xxxviii 257 pp. Edited with an introduction and notes by Patricia Ingham. This book's importance to us as to the generation of 1831 when Cranford was published and 1906 when it was first included in Everyman's Library is the art the taste and the loving charity which Mrs. Gaskell here united. She was always a sincere and humane novelist; in Cranford by writing with mature comprehension of what she had originally seen with a child's clear eyes and retentive memory she produced something unique.
