“He limits his scene, but he brings to bear upon it a mind enriched with wide reading, a pen that is scholarly yet never pedantic, and a keen eye for the rich possibilities of adventure and romance that underlie the daily round and common task of modern life.”

Couch, A. T. Quiller-. Pilgrims’ way. *$1.50. Dutton.
7–35145.
“‘The pilgrims’ way’ has a more serious purpose than is usually associated with anthologies, the selections of prose and verse which Mr. Quiller-Couch has chosen being definitely arranged with a view to their suitability to the different stages of life’s journey, beginning with childhood and ending with death. These selections are charming in themselves, and they cover a wide range of literature, extending from the Bible to the work of such very modern authors as Mr. Laurence Binyon and Maeterlinck.”—Ath.
“A delightful collection.”
