Gilson, Roy Rolfe. Katrina: a story. †$1.50. Baker.
“The quaintly humorous middle-aged newspaper worker whose ability as a writer is joined with whimsical peculiarities of character, finds in the little girl Katrina, whom he accidentally meets, the child of the girl he loved many years ago. His friendship with the little girl and his care of her and her optimistic and intellectual but unpractical father make a delightful narrative.”—Outlook.
“He combines a sympathetic understanding of the young child’s point of view with an equally rare understanding of the sorrows and disillusions of age.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
+ Bookm. 24: 247. N. ’06. 440w.
“The author has such use of his faculties as a bird has of its wings in mid air, and he has told his story with that whimsical, bright movement of the mind which accounts in part for its indescribable charm and grace.”
