“A very pretty edition, excellently printed on good paper,—the attractively bound volumes should be much in request.”
Glasgow Herald.
“A very readable and enjoyable version. The little volume is neatly and tastefully bound; and if Daudet’s other works are to follow in the same style, the whole collection will be a charming one.”
Scotsman.
“The book, which is a history of literary Paris of the time, as well as a record of the author’s own life and work, ranks as one of the classics among French books of its kind. It will be a boon to many to be enabled to read in English a book which is a model of easy style, and delightful in its frank estimates of men and books.”
Weekly Sun.
“Mr. Dent has been at pains evidently to give to the exterior of these volumes a daintiness and an elegance suitable to their tone; and certainly the volumes are in an exquisite dress. The translations, too, are so good, that one often forgets that one is not reading an original work—which is the highest praise one can bestow on a translation.”
Dundee Advertiser.
“The publishers have spared no pains to render the volume attractive. It is daintily illustrated and prettily bound, and exterior and interior are alike attractive.”
