In this book Mr Grierson recalls in vivid memories the wonderful romance of his life in Lincoln’s country before the war. “The Valley of the Shadows is not a novel,” says Mr W. L. Courtney in the Daily Telegraph, “yet in the graphic portraiture of spiritual and intellectual movements it possesses an attraction denied to all but the most significant kind of fiction.... With a wonderful touch Mr Grierson depicts scene after scene, drawing the simple, native characters with bold, impressive strokes.”
“Told with wonderful charm ... enthralling as any romance ... truth, though often stranger than fiction, is almost always duller; Mr Grierson has accomplished the rare feat of making it more interesting. There are chapters in the book ... that haunt one afterwards like remembered music, or like passages in the prose of Walter Pater.”—Punch.
