Her Prince at Last
Janetta's best-loved book
reviewed by Rebecca Tremaine, Ladies' Weekly Chronicle, November 1941
Janetta's many fans will be delighted to learn that her long-awaited new novel
is now on bookstore shelves.
Quite in Miss Walters' best tradition,
Her Prince at Last
takes the reader to
a romantic world of strong men and flower-like maidens who fall in love with
each other at first sight. But as always, the course of true love does not run
smooth.

Her Prince at Last
Rose Elliot, an orphan cast adrift in an uncaring world, has bravely faced
tragedy all her life. But a legacy from an unknown relative gives her the
freedom to pursue her dream, running a weaving studio, so she leaves
London and goes
to live at the seaside town of Hearts Content.
It is here that for the first
time in her life that she begins to make new friends: Miss Cardigan and Miss
Ethel Cardigan, the
elderly sisters who run the Hearts Content Hotel; Old Teasdale, the garrulous
old salt who
warns her about the dangers of the tides; Sir Lucius Fanshawe, the local
squire; and Molly, the little crippled orphan girl, who wins Rose's heart.
Rose at last begins to feel she has found the peace and security she's been
seeking all her life. But
into this idyllic world comes Edward Caulfield, the handsome stranger whose
brooding manner seems to shield a bitter secret. In spite of her determination
never to marry, Rose finds herself strangely drawn to this strong, taciturn,
enigmatic man. And she begins to think he might be learning to care for her as
well.
But who is the beautiful woman that Edward has been meeting by moonlight? And
why does he seem to be jealous of Rose's friendship with Sir Lucius, a
confirmed bachelor?
Miss Walters' legion of readers will not be disappointed with the tender love
scenes and dramatic climax, where a near-tragedy at last brings the book to a
satisfying conclusion.

Love Triumphant
Advance notice
Janetta Walters, the popular author, has completed a new novel which is to be
published shortly. It is entitled Love Triumphant and Miss Walters' large
circle of admirers need not be told to make a note of it for their library
lists. The story is well up to her usual standard; it is sensitive and delicate
and full of romance.
Miss Walters has had a slight nervous breakdown, due to overwork, and has gone
to Cornwall to recuperate. Her next book, which is already well on its way, is
entitled
Love's Garden
and we are informed on good authority that it will have
a Cornish setting.
