"A Drone and A Dreamer' recalls the maxim of La Bruyere: 'When the reading of a book elevates the mind and inspires noble sentiments, do not seek for another rule by which to judge the work. It is good and made by the hand of a workman.' One of the cleverest and most fascinating stories, all too brief, that it has ever been my pleasure to read." all too brief, that it has ever been my pleasure to read."

—Walt. McDougall, in North American.

"Capitally told. The whole story is rich in humor." "Capitally told. The whole story is rich in humor."

"At once and unreservedly we acknowledge the singular merits of this clever romance."

New York Times Saturday Review.

"Occasionally across the weary wastes of contemporary fiction—erotic, neurotic, tommyrotic or would-be historical,—comes a breath from some far, sweet land of cleanness and beauty. Such a story is 'A Drone and A Dreamer.' It is difficult to conceive of anything more charming and delightful than this book."
