Are indeed literary gems. * * * We are glad to have found these Mexican opals; they are to us gems of value and we thank the author.—Boston Times.
Now and then a tale flames like a field of poppies in windless sunshine—such, for instance, as these Mexican tales which have just appeared bearing an unfamiliar name.—The Bookman, New York.
In them all, no worse local solecism than the dropping of a few accents. The like hardly happens twice in a decade. * * * Are unmistakably interesting.—Critic (New York).
The Lure of Fame
By CLIVE HOLLAND, author of "My Japanese Wife," etc., etc. With a drawing and decoration by GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS. Large l6mo, square, handsomely embossed cover, $1.00; paper, 50c.
Charles Dexter Allen writes as follows in the Hartford Post: "Before one gets to the story itself, he must stop and admire the handsome setting the book has received. Bound in dark blue, with a bold cover design in gold, it has an especially designed title page by George Wharton Edwards, and an excellent frontispiece by the same artist. Its title, 'The Lure of Fame,' will suggest something of the thread of the story, but one is not thereby prepared for so tender and sympathetic a picture as those pages reveal, or so close an analysis of human feelings and experiences."
