Mr. Dix makes an asset of his hobby for old furniture in this charming book. “‘The face in the girandole’ sets forth something of the joys, something of the sorrows of an old furniture collector. Into it he has incidentally but skilfully woven just a dash of romance as a foil, and this added touch will make it appeal to others besides those who collect furniture.” (Ind.)
“It is a novelette that almost anybody might like to spend an idle hour upon.”

“A direct descendant of the novel of imaginary principalities and imaginable adventures rendered popular by Mr. Anthony Hope.... The recipe for this kind of story calls for several manufactured geographical names, a group of appropriate gentlemen and ladies, all superlatively beautiful, brave, good or wicked, and then a rush and tumble of extraordinary events, ending in poetic justice for all concerned.”—N. Y. Times.
