I thought that sale might have consequences later in the story, but it didn’t. Nor did the departure of the priest, or the compassion shown to a woman judged to be a witch, or the introduction of the wider family, or the flight of Mary, who had inherited her father’s pride and independence, and who thought that she deserved a better life. Lyttelton, George; Rupert Hart-Davis (1978). Lyttelton/Hart-Davis Letters, Volume 1. London: John Murray. ISBN 071953478X. The Herries Saga is certainly a weighty tome and as thoughtful and meticulous a "romantic" family saga as I have come across. To the modern reader "thoughtful and meticulous" might be perceived as slow and over-elaborate but I personally liked very much the careful unveiling of the 50 or so years covered by this first of four volumes.

The Herries Chronicle – Rogue Herries, Judith Paris, The Fortress, Vanessa. London: Macmillan. OCLC 1912099. I read all of The Herries Chronicle when I was quite young, say 11 or 12. We had an old copy in the book cupboard at home, probably belonging to my mum. I found it then completely eye popping and couldn’t put it down. I don’t know what happened to that volume. I think it had maps in the endpapers of all the locations in the Lake District where the stories unfold. Parnell, J. (2009). "Genesis of the graphite deposit at Seathwaite in Borrowdale, Cumbria".

Fortunately, there were also sunny days for hikes such as Catbells (a wonderful hike with amazing views; there were hang gliders launching that day, so I could see them from above). This discounts his earlier writings in a family magazine he edited between 1898 and 1903, called The Social Weekly. Steele comments, "This periodical, complemented by several historical novels Walpole also wrote during this time, constitutes a solid body of juvenilia." [1] These are about hard people with hard lives. I love this whole series, although Judith Paris has to be my favourite. Don't be put off by some of the older covers - usually made by people who knew nothing of the book but what some overworked editing clerk threw down in a short note, or from an inaccurate pre-publishing blurb. What I can say is that though I saw many weaknesses I was sufficiently interested to read to the end. Margaret Herries loved her husband dearly, and forgave him everything; and though he didn’t feel the same way he appreciated that and did his best to look after her. He sold his mistress at a country fair after she upset the household, and the scene rang true but it made me compare Walpole with Hardy, and that comparison did not flatter him.
