Quotation | ‘She [mrs Barclay] is almost as prolific as her books are popular.’ (p. 225) 'Mrs. Porter, whose novel, “The Harvester,” published in 1910, has sold more than 250,000 copies, caught the public imagination with her writing in a way not altogether unlike Mrs. Barclay. Her publishers, believing in the destined popularity of her first big success, “Freckles,” used every possible means to get the book stores to buy it generously. The book stores responded generously but the public did not. It seemed as if the public would never absorb even the first 10,000 copies which the publishers’ enthusiasm had induced the book stores to buy.’ (p. 225-6) |
