 | | 'It weighs in at just over two thousand three hundred words' (vii) - that is, about eleven pages in the Chapman edition of the Minor Works, chapter breaks and all: longer than the highly concentrated Beautifull Cassandra, but much shorter than Love and Freindship, Catharine, or even Jack and Alice. |
 | | Some might think that a slender tale - slender in size, that is, but not (I assure you) in significant content - calls for minimal illustration. |
 | | Not I. The slenderer the text, so goes my principle, the larger, not to say obeser, is the illustrator's opportunity: so that my illustrations loom larger in this volume than in any other I have illustrated since The Beautifull Cassandra. |
