“A remarkable book—intensely human, intensely individual, and, as a story, intensely interesting. It probes problems of life which many who will find fault with it have merely played with. It has pathos, insight, and humour, and contains chapters which seem to me the work of genius.”—The Literary World.
FRANCIS PREVOST
Rust of Gold. By Francis Prevost. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s.
“A collection of short stories and dialogues. They are pointed, bright, strong in characterisation, and prettily conceived.”—The Star.
NORA VYNNE
Honey of Aloes, and other Stories. By Nora Vynne, Author of “The Blind Artist’s Pictures.” Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
“Not only do they abound in literary merit, but in thrilling interest, and there is not one of them that is not instinct with intense and veracious humanity.”—Daily Telegraph.
“Irresistibly amusing, full of character, humour, truth, with much underlying pathos. . . . The quarrel with which the chief story begins is delightfully unreasonable, progressive, inevitable, and the interest never flags for a line to the thoroughly natural and human end. The author is so clever that she makes us ready to attest the truth of her most venturesome improbabilities, and her wit is charming.”—The World.
