From the Five Rivers
By FLORA ANNIE STEEL
The Times.—“Time was when these sketches of native Punjabi society would have been considered a curiosity in literature. They are sufficiently remarkable, even in these days, when interest in the ‘dumb millions’ of India is thoroughly alive, and writers, great and small, vie in ministering to it. Mrs. Steel has evidently been brought into close contact with the domestic life of all classes, Hindu and Mahomedan, in city and village, and has steeped herself in their customs and superstitions.... Mrs. Steel’s book is of exceptional merit and freshness.”
The Potter’s Thumb
By FLORA ANNIE STEEL
The Pall Mall Budget.—“For this week the only novel worth mentioning is Mrs. Steel’s ‘The Potter’s Thumb.’ Her admirable ‘From the Five Rivers,’ since it dealt with native Indian life, was naturally compared with Mr. Kipling’s stories. In ‘The Potter’s Thumb,’ the charm which came from the freshness of them still remains. Almost every character is convincing, and some of them excellent to a degree.”
