'The story has an extraordinary charm, imagination, style. The descriptions of the German soldiers passing the park gates on their way to Paris, of the old Corporal of the Grand Army, drunken and broken-hearted, of the gentle figure of the poor young count, these belong to literature, and literature of a fine quality.'— Academy. 'It is a fascinating romance.'— Punch. 'Weird mystery and delicate fancy mingle in Pierrot. Mr Stacpoole writes gracefully and his manner suits his dainty theme.'— Black and White. 'Mr Stacpoole has achieved a distinct success. He has managed to create just the atmosphere of poetic mystery that is required, and this it is which gives the book its charm.'— National Observer. 'If all the volumes of Mr John Lane's new Pierrot Library are to be of the same genus as the first one, Pierrot, let us have a volume once a week and regularly as Sunday comes round.'— Woman. 'On the whole Pierrot is both unusual and refreshing.'— Literary World. 'The story is peculiarly fascinating. The writer has a deft touch and a rare command of apt language.'— Dundee Advertiser.
