O. Douglas Poradie kníh
Anna Masterton Buchan, mladšia sestra štátnika a plodného romanopisca Johna Buchana, sa preslávila svojimi humornými domácimi románmi. Jej diela sa sústredia na životy škótskych rodín a ponúkajú vrelý pohľad na ich každodenné starosti a radosti. Svojím písaním, ktoré začala v roku 1911, si vytvorila osobitý štýl, ktorý oslovuje čitateľov svojím láskavým humorom a porozumením ľudskej povahe. Okrem dvanástich románov zanechala aj osobné spomienky svojho brata, ktoré vyšli posmrtne a dopĺňajú jej literárny odkaz.

This book is a sequel to an earlier novel, The Proper Place, concerning an aristocratic Scottish family, the Rutherfurds, forced by circumstances to sell the family estate. Lady Jane has lost both of her sons in the recent Great War; the subsequent death of her husband and unexpected financial hardship prompts her one remaining child, a daughter, Nicole, to suggest their removal to a smaller establishment more within their new means. Accompanying them is Lady Jane's niece, Barbara, but she has married and is back at Rutherfurd Hall at the opening of Small Things, leaving Lady Jane and Nicole in their new home, Harbour House, close by the sea's edge in the fictional east coast town of Kirkmeikle.
