Crawford, F. Marion (Francis Marion)
Venice (Italy) -- History
=THE WITCH OF PRAGUE=--“The artistic skill with which this
extraordinary story is constructed and carried out is admirable and
delightful.... Mr. Crawford has scored a decided triumph, for the
interest of the tale is sustained throughout.... A very remarkable,
powerful, and interesting story.”--_New York Tribune._
=VIA CRUCIS (A Romance of the Second Crusade).=--“Throughout ‘Via
Crucis’ the author shows not only the artist’s selective power and
a sense of proportion and comparative values, but the Christian’s
instinct for those things that it is well to think upon.... Blessed
is the book that exalts, and ‘Via Crucis’ merits that
beatitude.”--_New York Times._
=IN THE PALACE OF THE KING (A Love Story of Old Madrid).=--“Marion
Crawford’s latest story, ‘In the Palace of the King,’ is quite up
to the level of his best works for cleverness, grace of style, and
sustained interest. It is, besides, to some extent, a historical
story, the scene being the royal palace at Madrid, the author
drawing the characters of Philip II. and Don John of Austria, with
an attempt, in a broad impressionist way, at historic faithfulness.
His reproduction of the life at the Spanish court is as brilliant
and picturesque as any of his Italian scenes, and in minute study
of detail is, in a real and valuable sense, true history.”--_The
Advance._
