good
reading, though one remembers Calverley and the
Arcadian mixture; the eulogy on the loafer is
second only to Mr. Stevenson's praise of "The
Idler." There is too a distinct flavour of poetry
in much of Mr. Grahame's works. One could have
wished "White Poppies" had been written in verse,
were not the prose of it so delicate and
adequate.'

THE DAILY CHRONICLE.--'Mr. Kenneth Grahame's
accomplishment is astounding. . . . His style is
a delight, so high is its vitality, so cool its
colours, so nimble and various its rhythms. He has
read and assimilated Browne Burton. He has a
pretty poetic fancy and is apt at a quaint
analogy. Many forms of beauty--existent and
non-existent--he loves with a deep and
discriminating love.'
