When Elizabeth begins working as a maid in the Leaf household it is
the start of a new chapter for them all. Elizabeth is clumsy,
sullen, unteachable...but still waters run deep and this girl will
become the steady rock around which the little family can cling
when times are hard and tragedy strikes. Dinah Craik was one of the
most popular writers of the 19th century, blending heart-warming
stories with acute, funny, down-to-earth observations. Her stories
show real people in real situations. The great strength of Mistress
and Maid is in its portrayal of women, alone in the world with no
one to support them, who must rely on their own talents in a
society which expects them to fade into the background. In this
book, even the unlikeable characters are recognisable and no one is
portrayed without us seeing the whole of them, good or bad. With
rich illustrations throughout, this is the large print edition.
