She is a dairy-maid, caring and brave, who feared no one.

Midsummer Maid
This little book is as refreshing as a May meadow. Lindsay's prose, as usual, makes us smell the grass and wildflowers, delighting in first love as Haakon and Clare touch in the wonder of discovery. It is an allegory and a poem, a gift for young lovers.
