boy. The boy's
way of thinking, his outlook upon life, his ambitions, his ideals, his
moods, his peculiarities, these are all here touched with a kindly
sympathy and humor."--_New York Sun_.
"Mr. Phillpotts writes from a real knowledge of the schoolboy's habit of
thought. He writes with much humor and the result is as delightful and
entertaining a volume as has come from his pen for some time."--_Buffalo
Evening News_.
CHRONICLES OF ST. TID
BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS
"The gifts of the short-story writer are wholly Mr. Phillpotts'. Here,
as elsewhere in his works, we have the place painted with the pen of an
artist, and the person depicted with the skill of the writer who is
inspired by all types of humanity."--_Boston Evening Transcript_.
"No one rivals Phillpotts in this peculiar domain of presenting an
ancient landscape, with its homes and their inmates as survivals of a
past century. There is nothing vague about his characters. They are
undeniable personalities, and are possessed of a psychology all their
own."--_The Chicago Tribune_.
THE BANKS OF COLNE
BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS
"Absorbing, written with sure power and a constant flow of humor.... Has
the warm human glow of sympathy and understanding, and it is written
with real mastery."--_New York Times_.
"A tale of absorbing interest from its start to the altogether unusual
and dramatic climax with which it closes."--_Philadelphia Public
Ledger_.
"Stands in the foremost rank of current fiction."--_New York Tribune_.
"His acute faculties of sympathetic observation, his felicitous skill in
characterization, and his power to present the life of a community in
all its multiple aspects are here combined in the most mature and
absorbing novel of his entire career."--_Philadelphia Press_.
THE GREEN ALLEYS
BY EDEN PHILLPOTTS
"As long as we have such novels as _The Green Alleys_ and such novelists
as Mr. Phillpotts, we need have no fears for the future of English
fiction. Mr. Phillpotts' latest novel is a representative example of him
at his best, of his skill as a literary creator and of his ability as an
interpreter of life."--_Boston Transcript_.
"A drama of fascinating interest, lightened by touches of delicious
comedy ... one of the best of the many remarkable books from the pen of
this clever author."--_Boston Globe_.
