"_The book is a really charming description of a thousand
English landscapes and of the emergencies and the fun and
the delight of a picnic journey through them by a party
determined to enjoy themselves, and as well matched as
the pair of horses which drew the phaeton they sat in.
The real charm and purpose of the book is its open-air
life among hills and dales._"--TIMES. "_The
great charm of Mr. Black's book is that there is nothing
hackneyed about it, nothing overdrawn,--all is bright and
lifelike._"--MORNING POST.
A PRINCESS OF THULE. Three vols. Sixth and cheaper Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
The SATURDAY REVIEW says:--"_A novel which is
both romantic and natural, which has much feeling, without
any touch of mawkishness, which goes deep into character
without any suggestion of painful analysis--this is a rare
gem to find amongst the debris of current literature,
and this, or nearly this, Mr. Black has given us in the
'Princess of Thule.'_" "_It has, for one thing, the great
charm of novelty.... There is a picturesqueness in all that
Mr. Black writes, but scarcely even in the 'Adventures
of a Phaeton' are there the freshness and sweetness and
perfect sense of natural beauty we find in this last
book._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE. "_A beautiful and
nearly perfect story._"--SPECTATOR.
