WARD, LOCK & CO.'S NEW FICTION
High Street
By
Charman Edwards
When one reads this amazing study of Daven Judd, who although he is described as "lover, idealist and sometime fugitive from justice," comes at last to strange and beautiful happiness, it is difficult to believe that an author could have evolved such a book out of his own inventive faculties. One feels rather that Mr. Edwards has dared to reveal the emotions of creatures who are actual flesh and blood; emotions at times strange and terrible, frail and beautiful at others, yet ever tinged with human appeal. Mr. Edwards has never written anything like HIGH STREET before. Readers will be held fascinated to the last page; then, because of that rare and indefinable quality of startling truth which pervades it, they will take it up again.

Press Opinion of "Windfellow":
"Mr. Edwards can not only tell a good tale as it should be told, but he has the right gipsy magic, and the great fight which comes towards the end of the story is almost, if not quite, as fine as the epic contest between Lavengro and the Flaming Tinker."—Referee.
