“Mr. Locke has achieved a distinct success in this novel. He has struck many emotional chords, and struck them all with a firm, sure hand. In the relations between Katherine and Raine he had a delicate problem to handle, and he has handled it delicately.”—The Daily Chronicle.
The White Dove
“It is an interesting story. The characters are strongly conceived and vividly presented, and the dramatic moments are powerfully realized.”—The Morning Post.
The Demagogue and Lady Phayre
“Think of Locke’s clever books. Then think of a book as different from any of these as one can well imagine—that will be Mr. Locke’s new book.”—New York World.
At the Gate of Samaria
“William J. Locke’s novels are nothing if not unusual. They are marked by a quaint originality. The habitual novel reader inevitably is grateful for a refreshing sense of escaping the commonplace path of conclusion.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
ANATOLE FRANCE
“Anatole France is a writer whose personality is very strongly reflected in his works.... To reproduce his evanescent grace and charm is not to be lightly achieved, but the translators have done their work with care, distinction, and a very happy sense of the value of words.”—Daily Graphic.
“We must now all read all of Anatole France. The offer is too good to be shirked. He is just Anatole France, the greatest living writer of French.” —Daily Chronicle.
