“Anatole France is a writer whose personality is very strongly
reflected in his works.... To reproduce his evanescent grace and charm
is not to be lightly achieved, but the translators have done their
work with care, distinction, and a very happy sense of the value of
words.”--_Daily Graphic._
“We must now all read all of Anatole France. The offer is too good to
be shirked. He is just Anatole France, the greatest living writer of
French.”--_Daily Chronicle._
