inexhaustible native wit. She is the most remarkable creation in a
gallery where not a single figure is indistinct or conventional....
Mr. Gibson's essay--for there is confessedly something experimental
about it--must be reckoned, with those of Mr. Abercrombie, to whom
"Krindlesyke" is dedicated, among the most remarkable dramatic poems
of our time.'

_The Aberdeen Journal._--'"Krindlesyke" is incontestably the best
work Mr. Gibson has so far given us. It is amazingly good--vivid,
sincere, living, felt in the marrow of his bones and the beat of his
heart.... Here are peasants that belong to a world as true and as
deeply felt as those of Hardy and Synge. They are provincial only in

more worth reading.... Mr. Gibson has fashioned for his peasants the
rich, racy, coloured, vigorous speech that is essential to them. No
thing of book this.... As peasant talk it rings true; its rich tang
is a rare delight.'

the beauty of poetry which lies over the tale.'

_The Observer._ 'There are charming things in this little book....
Throughout there is a very cunning use of northern place names that
stir the imagination like the sound of the Borderers' riding.
"R. L. S." would have liked these names and used them as cunningly.'
