"Those weary of the banalities of current fiction will greatly enjoy it."—The Providence Journal on "The Long Gallery."
THE LONG GALLERY
A romance dominated by the influence of dead ancestors whose pictures hang in the Long Gallery of Southern court in England, with which mingles the glamour of the days spent in the old playroom at the Court. $1.50.
"It holds a distinct place among recent fiction. There is material enough for several plots ... well told, it shows creative power, imagination, sincerity."—Outlook.
"Remarkably fascinating."—Philadelphia Ledger.
"A story of unusual quality, written with uncommon distinction of style ... striking characters ... Griselda, a gypsy-like creature with a strange mixture of innocence and sophistication ... Alva, strangely alluring and scarcely seeming to belong to those practical days.... Back of the characters stands the old Court, with its long gallery filled with portraits of the dead Southerns. Alva, Griselda and Anthony feel their influence; it is symbolism of an unusual sort ... there is a soupcon of high comedy in the story; ... the dialogue is keen and vivid.... The book will hold the discriminating reader as much by its finesse of style as its interesting play and interplay of characters."—New York Times Review.
"Singularly enjoyable. A spontaneous wit, a fascinating play of idea upon idea make excellent reading."—Chicago Tribune.
