Scottish Leader.—"The book is full of a glowing and living realism…. There is nothing like 'Fantasy' in modern literature…. It is a work of elfish art, a mosaic of light and love, of right and wrong, of human weakness and strength, and purity and wantonness, pieced together in deft and witching precision."
FROTH. From the Spanish of Don Armando Palacio-Valdés.
Daily Telegraph.—"Vigorous and powerful in the highest degree. It abounds in forcible delineation of character, and describes scenes with rare and graphic strength."
FOOTSTEPS OF FATE. From the Dutch of Louis Couperus.
Daily Chronicle.—"A powerfully realistic story which has been excellently translated."
Gentlewoman.—"The consummate art of the writer prevents this tragedy from sinking to melodrama. Not a single situation is forced or a circumstance exaggerated."
PEPITA JIMÉNEZ. From the Spanish of Juan Valera.
New Review (Mr. George Saintsbury):—"There is no doubt at all that it is one of the best stories that have appeared in any country in Europe for the last twenty years."
THE COMMODORE'S DAUGHTERS. From the Norwegian of Jonas Lie.
Athenæum.—"Everything that Jonas Lie writes is attractive and pleasant; the plot of deeply human interest, and the art noble."
