The Belovéd Vagabond
“‘The Belovéd Vagabond’ is a gently-written, fascinating tale.
Make his acquaintance some dreary, rain-soaked evening and find
the vagabond nerve-thrilling in your own heart.”
—Chicago Record-Herald.
Septimus
“Septimus is the joy of the year.”—American Magazine.
The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne
“A literary event of the first importance.”—Boston Herald.
“One of those rare and much-to-be-desired stories which keep one
divided between an interested impatience to get on, and an irresistible
temptation to linger for full enjoyment by the way.”—Life.
Where Love Is
“A capital story told with skill.”—New York Evening Sun.
“One of those unusual novels of which the end is as good as the
beginning.”—New York Globe.
284The Usurper
“Contains the hall-mark of genius itself. The plot is masterly in
conception, the descriptions are all vivid flashes from a brilliant
pen. It is impossible to read and not marvel at the skilled workmanship
and the constant dramatic intensity of the incident, situations
and climax.”—The Boston Herald.
Derelicts
“Mr. Locke tells his story in a very true, a very moving, and a
very noble book. If any one can read the last chapter with dry
eyes we shall be surprised. ‘Derelicts’ is an impressive, an important
book. Yvonne is a creation that any artist might be proud
of.”—The Daily Chronicle.
Idols
“One of the very few distinguished novels of this present book
season.”—The Daily Mail.
“A brilliantly written and eminently readable book.”
—The London Daily Telegraph.
A Study in Shadows
“Mr. Locke has achieved a distinct success in this novel. He has
struck many emotional chords, and struck them all with a firm,
sure hand. In the relations between Katherine and Raine he had
a delicate problem to handle, and he has handled it delicately.”
—The Daily Chronicle.
The White Dove
“It is an interesting story. The characters are strongly conceived
and vividly presented, and the dramatic moments are powerfully
realized.”—The Morning Post.
The Demagogue and Lady Phayre
“Think of Locke’s clever books. Then think of a book as different
from any of these as one can well imagine—that will be Mr.
Locke’s new book.”—New York World.
At the Gate of Samaria
“William J. Locke’s novels are nothing if not unusual. They are
marked by a quaint originality. The habitual novel reader inevitably
is grateful for a refreshing sense of escaping the commonplace
path of conclusion.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
