1899. From the notable literary couple of Egerton Castle and his
wife, Agnes (Sweetman) Castle, who was a sister of the novelist
Francis Blundell comes the first of their popular, stylish
historical romances, The Pride of Jennico. The novel relays the
story of an English aristocrat who inherits a princedom in Moravia.
The story begins: As the wind rattles the casements with impotent
clutch, howls down the stair-turret with the voice of a despairing
soul, creeps in long irregular waves between the tapestries and the
granite walls of my chamber and wantons with the flames of logs and
candles; knowing, as I do, that outside the snow is driven
relentlessly by the gale, and that I can hope for no relief from
the company of my wretched self, -for they who have learnt the
temper of these wild mountain winds tell me the storm must last at
least three days more in its fury, -I have bethought to me, to keep
from going melancholy crazed altogether, to set me some regular
task to do. See other titles by this author available from
