New York Tribune.—‘Mr. Parrish is one of the most original and effective draughtsmen that we have, and in this series of illustrations he is at his best. A more exquisitely decorated Christmas book than this it has not been our fortune to see.’
PAGAN PAPERS
16mo. $1.00 net. Second Edition.
Academy.—‘Rarely does one meet with an author whose wit is so apt, whose touches of sentiment are so genuine. His paper on tobacco is good reading, though one remembers Calverley and the Arcadian mixture; the eulogy on the loafer is second only to Mr. Stevenson’s praise of “The Idler.” There is too a distinct flavour of poetry in much of Mr. Grahame’s works. One could have wished “White Poppies” had been written in verse, were not the prose of it so delicate and adequate.’
Daily Chronicle.—‘Mr. Kenneth Grahame’s accomplishment is astounding. ... His style is a delight, so high is its vitality, or cool its colours, so nimble and various its rhythms. He has read and assimilated Browne Burton. He has a pretty poetic fancy and is apt at a quaint analogy. Many forms of beauty—existent and non-existent—he loves with a deep and discriminating love.’
THE HEADSWOMAN
16mo. 50 cents net. New Edition.
Bookman.—‘Mr. Grahame’s cleverness does not forsake him when he attempts satire. “The Headswoman” is a pretty bit of foolery.’
Literary World.—‘A delightful little tale with a tinge of satire in it. For gracefulness of style and charm in the telling of a story it is in the front rank, and that is saying a great deal.’
