Garthowen: A Welsh Idyl.
"Wales has long waited for her novelist, but he seems to have come at last in the person of Mr. Allen Raine, who has at once proved himself a worthy interpreter and exponent of the romantic spirit of his country."—London Daily Mail.
By Berwen Banks.
"Mr. Raine enters into the lives and traditions of the people, and herein lies the charm of his stories."—Chicago Tribune.
"Interesting from the beginning, and grows more so as it proceeds."—San Francisco Bulletin.
"It has the same grace of style, strength of description, and dainty sweetness of its predecessors."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
Torn Sails.
"It is a little idyl of humble life and enduring love, laid bare before us, very real and pure, which in its telling shows us some strong points of Welsh character—the pride, the hasty temper, the quick dying out of wrath.... We call this a well-written story, interesting alike through its romance and its glimpses into another life than ours."—Detroit Free Press.
"Allen Raine's work is in the right direction and worthy of all honor."—Boston Budget.
Mifanwy: A Welsh Singer.
"Simple in all its situations, the story is worked up in that touching and quaint strain which never grows wearisome no matter how often the lights and shadows of love are introduced. It rings true, and does not tax the imagination."—Boston Herald.
"One of the most charming tales that has come to us of late."—Brooklyn Eagle.

"Which one of us, whether afoot, awheel, on horseback, or in comfortable carriage, has not whiled away the time by glancing about? How many of us, however, have taken in the details of what charms us? We see the flowering fields and budding woods, listen to the notes of birds and frogs, the hum of some big bumblebee, but how much do we know of what we sense? These questions, these doubts have occurred to all of us, and it is to answer them that Mr. Mathews sets forth. It is to his credit that he succeeds so well. He puts before us in chronological order the flowers, birds, and beasts we meet on our highway and byway travels, tells us how to recognize them, what they are really like, and gives us at once charming drawings in words and lines, for Mr. Mathews is his own illustrator."—Boston Journal.
