"As regards the pictures of gipsy life, the book is full of touches which could only have come from a writer who has had intimate personal contact with the Romanies, and who was at the same time deeply versed in their traditional lore.... As a gipsy novel, as a novel depicting gipsy life, 'Kriegspiel' is unrivalled."—The Athenæum.
