“The hero of Mr. Hewlett’s latest novel is Richard Cœur de Lion, whose character is peculiarly suited to the author’s style. It is on a much wider plan than ‘The Forest Lovers,’ and while not historical in the sense of attempting to follow events with utmost exactness, it will be found to give an accurate portrayal of the life of the day, such as might well be expected from the author’s previous work. There is a varied and brilliant background, the scene shifting from France to England, and also to Palestine. In a picturesque way, and a way that compels the sympathies of his readers, Mr. Hewlett reads into the heart of King Richard Cœur de Lion, showing how he was torn by two natures and how the title ‘Yea and Nay’ was peculiarly significant of his character.”—Boston Herald.
“The tale by itself is marvellously told; full of luminous poetry; intensely human in its passion; its style, forceful and picturesque; its background, a picture of beauty and mysterious loveliness; the whole, radiant with the very spirit of romanticism as lofty in tone and as serious in purpose as an epic poem. It is a book that stands head and shoulders above the common herd of novels—the work of a master hand.”—Indianapolis News.
“Mr. Hewlett has done one of the most notable things in recent literature, a thing to talk about with abated breath, as a bit of master-craftsmanship touched by the splendid dignity of real creation.”—The Interior.

THE FOREST LOVERS
BY MAURICE HEWLETT
12mo. Cloth. $1.50
“A series of adventures as original as they are romantic.... ‘The Forest Lovers’ is a piece of ancient arras; a thing mysteriously beautiful, a book that is real, and, at the same time, radiant with poetry and art. ‘The Forest Lovers’ will be read with admiration, and preserved with something more than respect.”—The Tribune, New York.
