ASTECK’S MADONNA,
AND OTHER STORIES.
By CHARLES KENNETT BURROW.
Manchester Guardian.
“It is turned out with all the daintiness we have learned to expect from its publishers. If its contents are an earnest of the standard of workmanship to be maintained in the remaining volumes, we can look forward to them with pleasure. Each one of the nine stories is technically a work of art.”
To-Day.
“The daintiest, lightest, and best printed book I have ever seen at the price. The first two pages are enough to show that the author has great gifts, a sense of the fitness of words, an ear for the rhythm of fine prose—a style, in fact. But he has more than these. He has observed keenly and felt deeply the moods of nature and of human nature. He writes with knowledge, and from the heart. Two main ideas I find informing the book—a love of the great peace that lies near the heart of nature, and of the courageous spirit (born of that peace) which enables a man to look life in the face, fight its battles, and enjoy its fruits.”
