This book contains so much ableism is was really hard to read. It is actively harmful, and no one seems to be talking about it.
Also, it is racist. There were only two (that I spotted) accounts of racism, compared to the dozens of accounts of ableism, however, it was no less harmful. I understand they're Victorian, but you cannot use this as an excuse for the author to be a bigot.
