"When one discovers a happy book it is one's duty to tell one's friends about it."
OLIVIA IN INDIA. By O. Douglas
"Happy books are not very plentiful, and when one discovers a happy book it is one's duty to tell one's friends about it, so that it makes them happy too. My happy book is called 'Olivia.' It is by a certain young woman who calls herself O. Douglas, though I suspect that it's a pen-name.... Olivia can write the most fascinating letters you ever read."—James Douglas in the Star. "Extremely interesting. To have read this book is to have met an extremely likeable personality in the author."—Glasgow Herald.
PENNY PLAIN. By O. Douglas
"Penny Plain" is a story of life in a little town on the banks of the Tweed. Jean Jardine, the heroine—who looks after her brothers in their queer old house, "The Rigs," and is in turn looked after by the old servant, Mrs. McCosh (from Glasgow), and Peter, the fox-terrier—describes herself and her life as "penny plain," but with the coming of Pamela Reston and her brother (who was what Mrs. McCosh called "a Lord no less"), everything is changed. There is love in the book and laughter. "A very able and delightful book."—The Times. "A Delicious novel ... a triumphant success."—"A Man of Kent" in the British Weekly.
THE SETONS. By O. Douglas
"Portrayed with the humour and insight of a deep affection."—The Times. "Elizabeth is a delightful creature who radiates the pages."—Glasgow Herald. "To the reading public at large it will prove a sheer delight."—Glasgow Times. "Full of charm."—Spectator. "A delightful romance."—Aberdeen Journal.
