That Stick

Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) began writing in 1848 and published about 100 works, chiefly novels. Her first commercial success was "The Heir of Redclyffe" (1854). During her lifetime, she was admired and respected by such notable literary figures as Alfred Tennyson and Henry James, and strongly influenced the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, especially William Morris and D. G. Rossetti.
