REVIEWERS' REMARKS.
Standard.—"There are many pleasant pages in 'Fame, the Fiddler,' which reminds us of 'Trilby,' with its pictures of Bohemian life, and its happy-go-lucky group of good-hearted, generous scribblers, artists, and playwrights. Some of the characters are so true to life, that it is impossible not to recognize them. Among the best incidents in the volume must be mentioned the production of Pryor's play, and the account of poor Jimmy Lambert's death, which is as moving an incident as we have read for a long time. Altogether, 'Fame, the Fiddler,' is a very human book, and an amusing one as well."
Pall Mall Gazette.—"A pleasant, cheery story. Displays a rich vein of robust imagination."
Western Daily Press.—"A novel of more than average merit. Cleverly written, and intensely interesting throughout."
Graphic.—"The volume will please and amuse numberless people."
Literary World.—"Full of interest. The racy and fluent delineations of some phases of life in London cannot fail to take hold of the imagination, and appeal to the interest of the reader."
Lady.—"Written in the happiest manner, by turns humorous and pathetic, by one who evidently understands his subject thoroughly."
Publishers' Circular.—"A very well told story. The characters are all skilfully drawn. The action of the piece moves with commendable quickness. A large amount of amusement and interest will be obtained from its pages."
Madame.—"The book is eminently entertaining, and its truth to nature is obvious."
Bookman.—"An eminently readable book. It contains a number of delightful character sketches—some of them clearly portraits—of present-day life in Bohemia. We thoroughly enjoyed the history of their many adventures."
Sheffield Telegraph.—"Successfully reproduces a phase of life which is always interesting, and we follow with pleasurable sympathy the author's guidance through the mazes of Bohemia."
Public Opinion.—"The little circle of needy, happy-go-lucky, literary, artistic, and dramatic Bohemians is an amusing one, and we thank Mr. Fitz-Gerald for introducing us to it."
Sunday Chronicle.—"Full of unflagging interest from cover to cover. Mr. Adair Fitz-Gerald possesses a chatty, ingratiating style, and has the happy knack of putting himself at once on friendly and confidential terms with the reader. 'Fame, the Fiddler,' is rendered the more interesting by its unconventionality."
Glasgow Citizen.—"Holds the reader's attention from start to finish. Gives a thoroughly convincing picture of a most interesting phase of artistic life."
Bookseller.—"A pleasant and attractive story. The various scenes through which the reader is conducted are vividly and skilfully delineated, and the dramatis personæ, varied and diversified as they are, are rarely out of place, and each one of them has the rare power of making the reader feel personally interested. Mr. Fitz-Gerald may certainly be congratulated on a complete success."
