George Eliot: Scenes and People in Her Novels
Title
George Eliot: Scenes and People in Her Novels
Description
- "When George Eliot, or Mary Ann Evans, was a little girl of scarily eight summers, some one lent her elder sister a copy of "Waverley," which the younger child eagerly seized. The book was returned before she had finished it, much to her distress, but the little genius began at once to write the story from memory, and so surprised her parents that they borrowed the volume again."
