"It touches lightly upon love, upon the pathos of old age, upon the workman's passion for his work, upon the artist's worship of his art, upon an infinite variety of human ways and moods, and it is filled to its depths with reflections upon life that are very near to life itself.

"The daily bread of life is in this book ... magnificently written, ... absorbingly interesting, and holds that element of surprise which is never lacking in the work of the true story teller. It is a book for which to be frankly grateful, for it holds matter for many hours' enjoyment.--New York Times.
