"Whatever D. E. Stevenson puts her fictional
hand to," wrote The New York Times Book
"Review, "has certain ineradicable, sure qual-
ities. Humor, lightness of touch, the ability
to plot an enthralling story in fascinating
surroundings, and to create characters that
appeal, convincingly, both to head anti
heart." Celia s House, filled with such effer-
vescent warmth and cheer, is the story of
Dunnian a spellbindingly lovely family es
tare in Scottish Border country-and of the
generations of Dunne family that live in it
and love it dearly. Beginning in 1905 with
ninety-year-old Celia Dunne, it delightfully
portrays the bustling life of her heir and
grand-nephew, Humphrey Dunne, and his
family of five rambunctious children. It fol-
lows the family over forty years-through
their youthful antics, merry parties, heart-
breaks and loves and marriages, as each in
turn comes to maturity and an understand-
ing of the enduring satisfaction Dunnian
gives to their lives.
"A pleasant, comfortable story, written
with genuine affection for the Border coun-
tryside," praised the Times Literary Supple
merit on first publication of Celia s House.
The New York Times Book Review
concurred: "This is an exceptionally intrigu-
ing novel. And it has all the old charm-
which, in essence, is not unlike that of the
Border country itself."Allowed to go out of
print prematurely because of wartime paper
rationing, Celia s House is now being reis-
sued for D. E. Stevenson s large and devoted
following.
