Examiner (Cork).—“A comprehensive and thoroughly interesting book.”
Madame.—“A most interesting book.… To those mothers who have their children round them in the story-telling twilight this book of Mr Green’s should be a treasury of delight.”
In Quaint East Anglia. Descriptive Sketches. By T. West Carnie. Illustrated by W. S. Rogers. Long 12mo, cloth, 1s.
Observer.—“That East Anglia exercises a very potent spell over those who once come under its influence is proved by the case of George Borrow, and all who share in the fascination will delight in this brightly written, companionable little volume.”
Graphic.—“It is a prettily got up and readable little book.”
Saturday Review.—“Will be welcomed by all who have come under the charm of East Anglia.”
A Man Adrift. Being Leaves from a Nomad’s Portfolio. By Bart Kennedy, Author of “Darab’s Wine-Cup,” “The Wandering Romanoff,” etc. This very entertaining book is a narrative of adventures in all parts of the world. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
Mr Andrew Lang, in the course of a long and laudatory notice in Longman’s Magazine, said:—“It is a strange photograph of rude and violent life. The narrator always carries his life in his fist. He describes, better than any other writer, the existence of a tramp, and gives an amazing account of the brutality, and even torture, practised on workers in some parts of the United States.… The book is as simple in style as Swift’s writing; a kind of labouring Trelawny might have fathered these adventures of a younger son.”
Mr Richard Le Gallienne (in the Idler).—“‘A Man Adrift’ has held me as few recent books have power to do. The book is ‘real’ because it has first been really lived, and then been really written. Mr Kennedy’s book has held me, not only by its reality, but by its courage, its pity, its humour, its all-embracing humanity, its quiet fierceness. ‘A Man Adrift’ is a brave book.”
Morning Leader.—“The record of an adventurous life, when well told, always appeals to the imagination and sympathy of the reader, and ‘A Man Adrift’ is such a record. Presumably the adventures are real; they have all the vividness of reality at all events, and one follows the hardships and wanderings of the narrator with keen interest.… Mr Kennedy is to be congratulated on his ‘Man Adrift.’”
