E.F. BENSON. DODO: A DETAIL OF THE DAY. By E.F. BENSON. _Crown 8vo.
Sixteenth Edition, 6s._

A story of society which attracted by its brilliance universal
attention. The best critics were cordial in their praise. The
'Guardian' spoke of 'Dodo' as '_unusually clever and interesting_';
the 'Spectator' called it '_a delightfully witty sketch of society_;'
the 'Speaker' said the dialogue was '_a perpetual feast of epigram and
paradox_'; the 'Athenaeum' spoke of the author as '_a writer of

cleverness_;' the 'World' said the book was '_brilliantly written_';
and half-a-dozen papers declared there was '_not a dull page in the
book_.'

Review_.

'A very notable book; a very sympathetically, at times delightfully
written book.'--_Daily Graphic_.

possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker_.

'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a
