Less than kin

by Alice Duer Miller

WILLIAM DE MORGAN’S ALICE-FOR-SHORT

The story of a London waif, a friendly artist, his friends and family. Seventh printing. $1.75.

“Really worth reading and praising ... will be hailed as a masterpiece. If any writer of the present era is read a half century hence, a quarter century, or even a decade, that writer is William De Morgan.”—Boston Transcript.

“It is the Victorian age itself that speaks in those rich, interesting, overcrowded books.... Page by page the new book is as rich, piquant, and interesting as its predecessor.... Everywhere are wit, learning, and scholarship ... the true creative imagination.... Will be remembered as Dickens’s novels are remembered.”—Springfield Republican.
