The pelicans

E. M. Delafield
THE NOVELS OF E. M. DELAFIELD
ZELLA SEES HERSELF THE WAR WORKERS THE PELICANS
Joseph Hergesheimer writes:
“The solid accomplishment of Miss Delafield’s three novels establishes her as a figure of actual literary importance. Writing, from her first published sentence to the ending phrase of The Pelicans , with a delicate mastery and finish, she expresses her witty and forceful personality with the utmost clearness.
Zella Sees Herself , The War Workers , and The Pelicans offer to honest and intelligent people an enjoyment of what are recognized as really high traits of creative literature together with a pervading amusement and lively interest sustained from paragraph to paragraph and from novel to novel. Miss Delafield is a valuable addition to the number of writers, always small, whose books ornament equally the drawing-room table and the preference of undisturbed private hours.”
