This article focuses on the book "Precious Bane, Gone to Earth, Armour Wherein he Trusted, Poems and the Spring of Joy, The House in Dormer Forest Seven for a Secret, The Golden Arrow," by Mary Webb. There are those who can love only the sort of country they know, mountain dwellers who look with aversion on the plain, and plains dwellers who are stifled in the mountains. Such will need to be led gently to Mary Webb, or to be told that she belongs to the small company of great writers and that one should approach her with respectful awe as one does for her country is her own.
