THE TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE : an Auto- 



biography by Alice M. Diehl, Novelist, Writer, and Musician. 

 Demy Svo. 10/. 6d. net. 



*»* These confessions, written with a naive frankness rare in present times, have been 

 pronounced by an authority to be a human document of utmost importance to all interested 

 in the great subjects of life and genius. During the years following a remarkable child- 

 hood of prodigies of literary and musical attainments, the Author made brilliant careers, 

 first in the world of -music, then in that of literature. An intimate friend of the late 

 Sir Henry Irving, his confidences to her throw a new light on the inner life of this some- 

 what enigmatical man. But the same may also be said of her friendship or acquaintance 

 with many other personages of world-wide renown. In music, we read of Berlioz, 

 Ferdinand Hiller, Jenny Lind, Sivori, Thalborg, Henselt (her master in his Silesian 

 Castle), Piatti, Sainton and his wife, Pietzius, Cruz'elli, the Princess Czartoryska, and 

 other eminent pupils of Chopin, as well as a host of others known in all countries and 

 climes. In literature, besides such stars as Robert Browning, Bret Harte, " Ouida," 

 Miss Braddon, M^rs. Riddell, Amelia B. Edwards, R. E. hichens, the work abounds in 

 familiar sketches of former men and women whose names are so well known that any 

 information about their personalities is of absorbing interest.

Daily News.—" Miss Valentina Hawtrey has given a most excellent English version of this 



pleasant work." 

 Academy. — " The fourteenth-century fancy plays delightfully around the meagre details of 



the Gospel narrative, and presents the heroine in quite an unconventional light. . . . 



In its directness and artistic simplicity and its wealth of homely detail the story reads 



like the work of some Boccaccio of the cloister; and fourteen illustrations taken from 



Italian painters happily illustrate the charming text."
