tear to the eye. There is no forced
sentimentality about his work, and no parade of preciosity. He sings a
simple, natural ballad, impeccably sincere. Cornwall has had no such
poet since Hawker of Morwenstow died."

_THE MORNING POST_ in a column notice says: "Mr Moore's 'Cornish
Catches' are just so good as Cornish cream to a Cornish cat, and even
those who do not know the dialect, with its faint, far-away echoes of
Celtic verse-forms, will delight in his simple 'vitty' songs of the
Delectable Duchy. He is a patriotic Cornish-man sure enough ... as good
as anything of the kind written by the dialect-poets of Lancashire or
Dorset ... it is a thing to rejoice over, this little easy-going,
unostentatious book."

_T. P.'S WEEKLY_ in a column headed "A Cornish Poet" says: "A new sheaf
of verse of quiet remarkable interest.... They all proclaim Mr Moore to
be a real poet ... his true vocation is to interpret the souls of the
people he obviously knows and loves so well. He knows their humour and
their half articulate pathos so well--and apparently he shares the

_DAILY CITIZEN_ in half column review says: "The glamour of the land of

ruggedness and colour of Cornwall '... will all appeal to a larger
public than Cornishmen alone.'"

_THE SCOTSMAN_: "... The book will be read with a hearty interest by
anyone who knows Cornwall."

_MANCHESTER CITY NEWS_ in a column headed "A Cornish Singer" says: "He
is not only a poet of words but ideas. The dialect poems are
particularly characteristic with their alternate sturdiness and
wistfulness. Mr Moore is particularly happy in suggesting either a
story or character sketch."

A FAMOUS NOVELIST AS POET

Willow's Forge AND OTHER POEMS

By SHEILA KAYE SMITH

Crown 8vo. Cloth. 2s. 6d. net.

"Written with the same inspiration and refinement as her previous book.
'To my Body: A Thanksgiving,' is the purest and serenest strain of
mysticism, and improves even upon the beautiful thought of St
Francis."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"... Her poetry is fully equal to her prose. _Willow's Forge_ is a
slender book, but in interest it is large, so large indeed that a first
reading only makes one aware of the presence of riches that require
time to fully appreciate.... _Lovers of real, not to say remarkable,
poetry must haste to secure this small but wonder-working book._ It
contains not one b
