Of “Graziella,” the Boston Post says: “It is full of beautiful sentiment, unique and graceful in style, of course, as were all the writings that left the hands of this distinguished French author.”
Of “Madeleine,” the New York Evening Mail says: “It is one of the most exquisite love tales that ever was written, abounding in genuine pathos and sparkling wit, and so pure in its sentiment that it may be read by a child.”
Of “Marie,” the Cincinnati Gazette says: “It is one of the purest, sweetest little narratives that we have read for a long time. It is a little classic, and a Russian classic, too.”
