And Five Were Foolish

by Dornford Yates

4 VALERIE FRENCH

“There are novels and novels, but those which come from the magic pen of Dornford Yates are stories of romantic beauty. Without doubt one of the most delightful novels of recent years.”—Liverpool Courier.

5 THE BROTHER OF DAPHNE

“There is no man writing to-day who manages to infuse a story with so much wit of the airy, bantering kind, and behind it all there is often a serious note.”—Glasgow Citizen.

6 THE COURTS OF IDLENESS

“In The Courts of Idleness there is more than clever and amusing talk. One finds a real depth here and there, and the whole thing from beginning to end is delightful reading.”—Joint Stock Journal.

7 AND FIVE WERE FOOLISH

“The book deserves a host of readers. Extraordinarily powerful and intriguing.”—Daily Telegraph.

8 AS OTHER MEN ARE

“Mr. Yates gets his effects with a more certain hand and a lighter touch than almost any other writer of light fiction.”—Referee.
