The Bride of the Mistletoe
To which The Doctor's Christmas Eve is a sequel, was described at the time of its publication as "so exquisite that not a few of his admirers will hold it the best work he has accomplished."
"It stands out in the midst of the year's fiction, and perhaps the fiction of many years, as a thing by itself. There is the spirit of Maeterlinck in these pages blended with the spirit of Hawthorne."—Current Literature.
The English press was enthusiastic, the London Academy declaring it "worth very many ordinary novels"; "conceived in a fine vision and developed with beauty"; "exercising over us a strong and at times a weird fascination."
The Literary World sums up: "We may assure the author's innumerable readers and friends that in his latest book he has lost none of the charm that first won them."
"Exquisite in form, full of color, finely finished." —Record-Herald, Chicago.

"One reads the story for the story's sake, and then re-reads the book out of pure delight in its beauty. The story is American to the very core.... Mr. Allen stands to-day in the front rank of American novelists. The Choir Invisible will solidify a reputation already established and bring into clear light his rare gifts as an artist. For this latest story is as genuine a work of art as has come from an American hand."—Hamilton W. Mabie in The Outlook. Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
