“Mr Gregory produces blank verse of vigor and suppleness, but hardly comparable to Shakespeare’s in poetic content.”

“‘Caius Gracchus’ is a tremendously ambitious work in the most difficult and aspiring genre of literature, and perhaps it is better to try and fail than not to try at all. One finds fault not so much with the author, who at least lets his work speak for itself, as with the critics who profess to find in it qualities that so obviously are not there.”

In the form of letters this amusing volume by the wife or Dr Grenfell, and the nurse who accompanied them to their northern abode, makes a good accompaniment to the autobiography of “A Labrador doctor.” It relates the experiences and hardships of their mission home in the far north in a humorous vein and with the feminine touch. The unique illustrations tell a story of their own.
“These bright brave little letters have the power of transporting one into the heart of the Labrador country by their charm of description and humor. Crude little sketches by the doctor make just the right illustrations.”
