Ostensibly a ghost story, The Library Window is also an exploration of what is real and what is not, or, as the author says, "A Story of the Seen and Unseen." Newly designed and typeset in a modern 5.5-by-8.5-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

The Library Window

This is the fifth and final volume of Mrs Oliphant's saga of English provincial life. We return to the country town of Carlingford where the arrival of Phoebe Junior sets tongues wagging. Mrs Oliphant also wrote "Salem Chapel", "The Doctor's Family", "The Perpetual Curate" and "Miss Marjoribanks".

Phoebe Junior

With a sense of mystery and suspense pervading the whole narrative, this is a very unusual work. Due to brilliant depiction of scenes, the work was later adapted for dramas and films. In an intensely horrifying environment, the unfolding events flare the imagination of the reader.

Mrs. Oliphant

Excerpt from Madonna Mary, Vol. 2 of 2 No wonder then that her old friends saw little or no change in her, and that her new ones admired her as much as she had ever been admired in her best days. Some women are sweet by means of being helpless, and fragile, and tender; and some have a loftier charm by reason of their veiled strength and composure, and calm of self-possession. Mary was one of the last; she was a woman not to lean, but to be leant upon; soft with a touch like velvet, and yet as steady as a rock a kind of beauty which wears long, and does not spoil even by growing old.
