This article presents information on several fiction books. The books are "Our Little Town," by Charles Lee, "The Widow Woman," and "Paul Carah, Cornishman." "Our Little Town" is presented in a series of sketches. The village worthies and unworthies are painted singly and in groups, with a light, affectionate touch. The book "Paul Carah, Cornishman" is a story on a larger scale. The hero is a young Cornishman, who, after an absence in the U.S., of some years, returns to his native village, intending to cut a dash. In the end, his conceit and fool-hardiness involve him in a smuggling scheme which makes him the tool of a designing shopkeeper.
