(PROSE)
By CALE YOUNG RICE and ALICE HEGAN RICE
"This volume of stories should hold its own with any collection likely to be published this year."—New York Post (The Literary Review).
"American writers have been distinctive as narrators of the short story, but few, if any, volumes of such stories have recently been published in this country equal to 'Turn About Tales.'"—D. F. Hannigan (The Rochester Post-Express).
"The gamut of the volume runs from spiritualism to the depths. It contains something of almost anything one happens to want. Better yet, it contains something new."—The Boston Transcript.
"Mr. Rice has written well—so well as to justify prediction that he will, if he elect to do so, achieve greater distinction as a short story writer than as a poet. His 'Lowry,' 'Francella' and 'Aaron Harwood,' to cite a few of the stories, meet the test of artistic stories.... Each leaves an impression that will impel re-reading."—Galveston News.
"Both writers portray, in their best vein, a consummate though distinctive skill in analyzing and delineating human emotions and experience."—Buffalo Commercial.
"Those who have read Mr. Rice's poetry will find his dramatic genius manifest in these stories."—The Watchman, N. Y.
"Mrs. Rice's humor and pathos combine well with Mr. Rice's mastery of diction and deep human understanding."—Milwaukee Journal.
"Each story is notable for beauty of technique ... each has its definite appeal."—Louisville Evening Post (Margaret S. Anderson).
"Each of the stories is of such finished workmanship as to make reading of it an unadulterated pleasure."—Baltimore Sun.
"The book is one of the best of the kind in this year's American fiction."—The Spectator (Portland, Ore.)
"Mr. Rice has grappled with the constructive problems of his time, so one finds them without surprise in this newly adopted vehicle.... Three of his stories have a realism as relentless as Chekov's ... and it goes without saying that his stories are technically admirable."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
"Mr. Rice so lives through his characters that, as Whitman says, he 'Is that man' of whom he writes."—Pittsburg Sun.
"The same dramatic power and beauty that mark Mr. Rice's lyrics will be found in these prose stories."—Cincinnati Times-Star.
"One seldom finds a book of short stories so satisfying throughout."—Minneapolis Journal.
