“By far the most complete and satisfying description that has been
given of life in the Italian quarter of New York.... Incidentally a
very good novel, reasonable in its purpose and character drawing,
intricate in plot, and dramatic in its action.”--_Philadelphia Times._
“A breezy book. It ‘goes’ from start to finish, and the action moves
in a rich atmosphere, albeit that of the poorest of New York’s alien
colonies.... The best study of Italian life in New York, and of its
special environment that has ever been drawn.”--_New York Herald._
“Through a very cleverly contrived course of events the complex
life of the colony shines out in most resplendent proportions....
The story is an exceedingly clever piece of humorous
writing.”--_Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph._
“The author has evidently made a close study of the Italian quarter
and its people and customs, and has utilized his knowledge to best
advantage.”--_Denver Republican._
“Character drawing and humor of an excellent quality.”--_Rochester
Herald._
“Richly humorous, ‘The Last Lady of Mulberry’ is one of the most
enjoyable little romances we have recently read. It presents
a picture of the Little Italy known in all our larger cities
in a way that is more effective than any number of serious
dissertations.”--_Providence News._
BOOKS BY ALLEN RAINE.
Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents.
=Garthowen: A Welsh Idyl.=
“Wales has long waited for her novelist, but he seems to have come at
last in the person of Mr. Allen Raine, who has at once proved himself
a worthy interpreter and exponent of the romantic spirit of his
country.”--_London Daily Mail._
=By Berwen Banks.=
“Mr. Raine enters into the lives and traditions of the people, and
herein lies the charm of his stories.”--_Chicago Tribune._
“Interesting from the beginning, and grows more so as it
proceeds.”--_San Francisco Bulletin._
“It has the same grace of style, strength of description, and dainty
sweetness of its predecessors.”--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
=Torn Sails.=
“It is a little idyl of humble life and enduring love, laid bare
before us, very real and pure, which in its telling shows us some
strong points of Welsh character--the pride, the hasty temper, the
quick dying out of wrath.... We call this a well-written story,
interesting alike through its romance and its glimpses into another
life than ours.”--_Detroit Free Press._
“Allen Raine’s work is in the right direction and worthy of all
honor.”--_Boston Budget._
=Mifanwy: A Welsh Singer.=
“Simple in all its situations, the story is worked up in that
touching and quaint strain which never grows wearisome no matter how
often the lights and shadows of love are introduced. It rings true,
and does not tax the imagination.”--_Boston Herald._
“One of the most charming tales that has come to us of
late.”--_Brooklyn Eagle._
