Work

A Lily of France (1901), described as Mason's "best known story", is a historical novel about Charlotte of Bourbon and William the Silent set largely in a 16th-century convent. A review in the Chicago Tribune described it as a "sweet love story" with themes of religious liberty. Holt of Heathfield (1904) is "a quiet recital of a young minister's life in a factory town".

The Binding of the Strong (1909) is a love story based the romance of a woman of the last name Davis (whose first name is apparently lost to history) and John Milton. The Spell of Italy (1910) is a lightly fictionalized account of travels throughout Italy. The Spell of France (1912) is a similar travel narrative about France.
