... “But the greatest of all these successes is ‘A Strange Story.’ Hundreds of thousands rush to read this ‘fairy tale of science and long results of time’ as recorded by Sir E. B. Lytton.”—Times.
“In conclusion, we may remark that in this novel Sir Edward displays another of those versatile turns of genius which place him pre-eminent amongst the novelists of the day. The ‘Strange Story’ is entirely different, alike in conception and in treatment, from his three famous last published novels. The present work is full of passages of most exquisite prose poetry, blending with and ennobled by the highest philosophical reflection; so that, after the reader has enjoyed the perusal of it, as a work of fiction, he will not fail to place it on the most accessible shelf of his library as a book to be studied—alike for the sake of the heart and of the intellect.”—Press.

“One of the best novels of modern times: a novel as rich in pure sentiment as it is in Christian philosophy, and as glowing in its portraiture of Oriental life as in its description of scenery.”—City Press.
“The author has made good use of her material, and has shown both skill and industry: she has evidently taken great pains with her work.”—Athenæum.
“A thoroughly good book.”—Morning Star.
