Each tale is dramatic, and has as distinct a plot as is compatible with short limits. There is no moralizing; the author is too eager to tell his story to stop for that. The book should find a wide welcome because of its novelty and high literary merit. It is admirably translated.—Literary World, Boston.
The stories are delightfully told; humor and pathos in turn call forth our admiration; and we owe our thanks to the publishers for having introduced this new author to the English reading public.—The Boston Times.
The stories are fresh and striking, simple in style, elemental in their sympathetic appeal.—Independent, New York.
The author portrays Greek life as it is with true poetic realism, and depicts the defects as well as the racial virtues of his countrymen. His stories are like so many dainty water-colors,—almost luminous in feeling, and possessing the indefinable attribute called “atmosphere.”—Beacon, Boston.
