It is an ill wind indeed that blows no good at all.

Perhaps this book might inspire some people, out of curiosity, to
investigate the works of _Elizabeth_ Gaskell?

I bought and read that trilogy, long ago; having read it, I
gaveit away.
Gaskell was first published at the age of (twelve? fourteen?),
with a sort of half-baked fantasy, but at her age it was not too
bad to get published. I don't remember whether I still have that
book or not (Chorus: cats in the fiction room....). Title,
_Strange Evil_, if anyone cares. The personification of Evil is
a Baby.

I can hardly blame you. Given James Nicoll's description,

it sounds like it barely qualifies as having entertainment
value.
I can't bring myself to describe providing an excuse to paint
a scantily-clad woman on its cover as a redeeming feature.

The woman (hardly out of her teens, if memory serves) has all
sorts of bad things happen to her. I forget what happens in the
end.
