Ref: Kunitz, 379 -80; Bodl: 014394477; [All the Year Round p. 12] Victorian Web First. Background Information:

Charles James Lever was an Irish novelist and raconteur.

Trollope praised Lever's novels highly when he said that they were just like his conversation. He was a born raconteur, and had in perfection that easy flow of light description which without tedium or hurry leads up to the point of the good stories of which in earlier days his supply seemed inexhaustible.
