Old lamps for new

by E. V. Lucas

A novel, original and pleasing, whose special charm lies in its happy phrasing of acute observations of life. For the delicacy with which his personalities reveal themselves through their own letters, “the book might be favorably compared,” says the Chicago Tribune, “with much of Jane Austen’s character work”—and the critic proceeds to justify, by quotations, what he admits is high praise indeed.

The Gentlest Art

A Choice of Letters by Entertaining Hands

An anthology of letter writing, so human, interesting, and amusing from first to last, as almost to inspire one to attempt the restoration of a lost art. “We do not believe that a more likable book has been published this year.”—The Evening Post, Chicago.
