"Johnny Ludlow" is an absorbing work by Mrs. Henry Wood that showcased her brilliant storytelling and ability to create realistic middle-class characters and relationships. Excerpt from Johnny Ludlow, Fifth Series "There is no need to go into details here about Featherston's people. His sister, Mary Ann, lived in his house at one time, and for everyday ailments was almost as good a doctor as he. She was not at all like him: a merry, talkative, sociable little woman, with black hair and quick, kindly dark eyes."
