Standard.—“‘Behind the Footlights’ contains a greater amount of direct personal information concerning leading contemporary actors, actresses, managers, and dramatists than can be found in any number of recently published books about the theatre in England.... She must be thanked for a singularly clever and entertaining volume.”
JOHN LANE: THE BODLEY HEAD, VIGO STREET, W.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR

F.R.S.;

The Life of a Harley Street Physician
By HIS DAUGHTER
The Times.—“The authoress is well known by her pleasant and chatty books of travel.... She has succeeded, by a judicious combination of her father’s notes with her own recollections, in producing a readable and interesting memoir.”
Morning Post.—“The memoir contains much interesting reading, tracing as it does the career of a distinguished man of science, who, though he had to struggle for years against almost insuperable difficulties, reached at last a high place in the professional tree and maintained his position there.”
St. James’s Gazette.—“Mrs. Tweedie is to be congratulated both on her subject and on the way she has manipulated it.”
A Girl’s Ride in Iceland
FOUR EDITIONS
Morning Post.—“This account of an autumn trip to an unhackneyed land is much better worth reading than many more pretentious volumes.... The authoress has an eye for what is worth seeing, a happy knack of graphic description, and a literary style which is commendably free from adjectival exuberance.”
Manchester Guardian.—“Mrs. A. Tweedie’s account of her trip is so bright and lively that the novelty of her experience is rendered additionally interesting by her manner of describing it.... The authoress interests us from first to last, and her style is altogether free from affectation of fine writing ... her book, indeed, is both instructive and amusing.”
