Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Guinea Stamp: A Tale of Modern Glasgow
The house was a plain and primitive cottage in the narrow street of a little Lincolnshire village - a village which was a relic of the old days before the drainage system was introduced, transforming the fens into a fertile garden, which seems to bloom and blossom summer and winter through. Its old houses reminded one of a Dutch picture, which the quaint bridges across the waterways served to enhance. There are many such in the fen country, dear to the artist's soul.
