“A real story-book of the sort which is difficult to lay down, having once begun it. It is fully illustrated and handsomely bound.”—Buffalo Courier.
“The story is one of exceptional merit, and its delightful interest never flags.”—Chicago Herald.
ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF “COLETTE.”
THE STORY OF COLETTE, a new, large-paper edition. With 36 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
The great popularity which this book has attained in its smaller form has led the publishers to issue an illustrated edition, with thirty-six original drawings by Jean Claude, both vignette and full-page.
“This is a capital translation of a charming novel. It is bright, witty, fresh, and humorous. ‘The Story of Colette’ is a fine example of what a French novel can be, and all should be.”—Charleston News and Courier.
“Colette is French and the story is French, and both are exceedingly pretty. The story is as pure and refreshing as the innocent yet sighing gayety of Colette’s life.”—Providence Journal.
“A charming little story, molded on the simplest lines, thoroughly pure, and admirably constructed. It is told with a wonderful lightness and raciness. It is full of little skillful touches, such as French literary art at its best knows so well how to produce. It is characterized by a knowledge of human nature and a mastery of style and method which indicate that it is the work rather of a master than of a novice.... Whoever the author of ‘Colette’ may be, there can be no question that it is one of the prettiest, most artistic, and in every way charming stories that French fiction has been honored with for a long time.”—New York Tribune.
