“He writes with the insight, the humour, and something of the poetry of Richard Jefferies. A knowledge and a cheerful humour which are refreshing.” — Yorkshire Post.
“We have only one quarrel with the Author of Villages of the White Horse: the book should have been twice as long. With a genuineness which is not inevitably behind the reviewers’ summing up, we bear testimony to its sterling qualities — its simple strength of style, its sweetness, its fine balance, its sanity of outlook, its flashes of rollicking humour, its informativeness, its warm sympathy and quick comprehension, and its unfailing gentle charm.” — Wiltshire Advertiser.
“A series of dramatic pictures and sketches, full of life, anecdote and humour, together with charming Nature-studies. It introduces us to the people in their homes and in the field. It gives the most vivid impression of how they live, of what they think and of what they say.” — The Academy.

COR CORDIUM
By ALFRED WILLIAMS
“Cor Cordium confirms Mr Alfred Williams’ remarkable position among writers of contemporary verse. It has all his sincerity and clear vision. We prefer his ecstatic reckless lyrics to the longer poems, in which he gives us nineteenth-century philosophy in admirable eighteenth century verse.” — Manchester Guardian.
“Mr Alfred Williams’ position as a poet is fully established.” — Times.
“That remarkable poet, Mr Alfred Williams, adds another triumph to his list of volumes of verse.” — Daily Citizen.
