lled with imaginative touches, resourceful, intelligent
and amusing. An ingenious plot that keeps the interest
suspended until the end, and has a quick and shrewd sense of
humor."--_Boston Transcript._

"A reviewer would hesitate to say how long it is since a
writer gave us so beautiful, so naive, so strangely brought
up and introduced, a heroine. It is to be hoped that the
author is already at work on another novel."--_Toronto
Globe._

"May cause the reader to miss an important engagement or
neglect his business. A love story of sweetness and purity
touched with the mythical light of Romance and aglow with
poetry and tenderness. One of the most enchanting creatures
in modern fiction."--_San Francisco Bulletin._

"It is extremely entertaining from start to finish, and there
are most delightful chapters of description and romantic
scenes which hold one positively charmed by their beauty and
unusualness."--_Boston Herald._

"Sentimental, with the wholesome, pleasing sentimentality of
the old bachelor who has not turned crusty.... A Thackerayan
touch."--_New York Tribune._

"Captures the imagination at the outset by the boldness of
the situation.... We should be hard put to it to name a
better American novel of the month."--_The Outlook._

ANATOLE FRANCE

"Anatole France is a writer whose personality is very
strongly reflected in his works.... To reproduce his
evanescent grace and charm is not to be lightly achieved, but
the translators have done their work with care, distinction,
and a very happy sense of the value of words."--_Daily
Graphic._

"We must now all read all of Anatole France. The offer is too
good to be shirked. He is just Anatole France, the greatest
living writer of French."--_Daily Chronicle._
