"His touch is almost as perfect as Mr. Barrie's, and he has to the full the art of presenting his characters in such wise as to leave us with the impression that we have been on intimate terms with living men and women.... We heartily commend this volume to lovers of real life as presented by an artistic temperament."—Daily Chronicle.

"Mr. Ackworth has achieved here a distinct success.... The author knows his way to the common human heart. His humour, his pathos, and his at times broad comedy, steeped as they are in the ennobling element of religious faith and love, make us laugh and cry by turns, while they keep us voraciously reading to the end.... There is, in fact, not a story in the book which does not leave us hungering for more."—Christian World.

"Drawn with a vividness and subtle charm that must appeal to all who love to study the poetry of human nature. Mr. Dunk is a master in the art of expression. Each tale is a poem in prose, and his knowledge of the heart and mind of the Cornish Methodist is profound, while his originality and grace of expression are of a high order."—Birmingham Daily Gazette.

AND SOME RUMSBY FOLK.

Crown 8vo, Art linen, gilt top, 3s. 6d.
"Presented with a vividness and tender sympathy that appeal strongly to those who have any knowledge of the reality of the religious life of the village Methodists of the past generation. Homely, kindly, saturated with a belief in the vitality of religion, these simple folk live and move in a lifelike way. Humour and pathos alternate with strong religious feeling and simple narrative."—Sheffield and Rotherham Independent.
