Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires (vol. 2 of 3)
Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine)
English fiction -- 19th century
‘A most splendid and fascinating book on a subject of undying
interest. The great feature of the book is the use the author has
made of the existing portraits of the Caesars, and the admirable
critical subtlety he has exhibited in dealing with this line of
research. It is brilliantly written, and the illustrations are
supplied on a scale of profuse magnificence.’—_Daily Chronicle._
‘The volumes will in no sense disappoint the general reader. Indeed,
in their way, there is nothing in any sense so good in English....
Mr. Baring Gould has presented his narrative in such a way as not to
make one dull page.’—_Athenæum._
_MR. BARING GOULD’S NOVELS_
‘To say that a book is by the author of “Mehalah” is to imply that it
contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
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
conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are
fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the
incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his
characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people, are
drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his
descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes
and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and
never dull, and under such conditions it is no wonder that readers
have gained confidence both in his power of amusing and satisfying
them, and that year by year his popularity widens.’—_Court Circular._
