County Gentleman.—“This is the book of a strong man. It has vigour, originality and power, and comes as a refreshing change after the maudlin sentimentality of most modern stories.… Mr Kennedy has a characteristic style. He writes in short, crisp sentences that are at once direct and fearless. It is mainly his own story that he tells in this strangely fascinating volume.”
