The Daily Chronicle.—‘In this characteristic and powerful volume of short stories, Sir Gilbert Parker exemplifies the truth of the old adage, Ex Africa semper aliquid novi, by the remarkable vividness and force with which he impresses upon us many and strange diversities of British activity in foreign parts. It is a weird picture of change moving across the face of the unchangeable that is presented in these glittering and motley pages. These short stories are powerful, various, and invigorating. The book is full of life—real, vital, burning life—and the characters that people it are rich in variety and suggestion.’
THE RIGHT OF WAY
By Sir GILBERT PARKER
In One Volume, price 6s.
The Outlook.—‘The Right of Way is the right stuff—romance the royal. It is dramatic. It abounds in good things. Its inspiration is heroic. It is a powerful and moving novel, in which strong and natural situations abound.’
The Standard.—‘The story deals with those strong passions and intense emotions that do not depend for their interest on the framework and setting in which they are presented. Nowhere else has the author worked with a surer touch or more careful craftsmanship. He has painted on larger canvasses, but not with so much precision of line, so much restraint, and such just harmony of tint; nor does he elsewhere exhibit an equal command of unforced pathos and genuine tragedy. The story is full of dramatic incident, ingeniously contrived.’
The St. James’s Gazette.—‘A fine book, stirring, dramatic, fascinating.
