“Unfortunately excerpt and comment are jumbled together without sufficient typographical distinction between the two, and it is often difficult to tell what is official record and what is Mr. French.

“It is less a continuous tale than a collection of charming scenes—simple poetic, realistic—of the lives of humble folk working and striving in a little harbour town in Holstein.

“Is an exceptionally interesting book, informed throughout with strong and tender feeling. Miss Hamilton’s translation is excellent, especially as reproducing the atmosphere of poetry and romance and of spiritual enthusiasm which is essentially a charm of the original work.”
