The Clean Heart
Hutchinson, A. S. M. (Arthur Stuart-Menteth)
Authors -- Fiction; Happiness -- Fiction
Mr. Hutchinson has a newer and a better grasp of style, which
manifests itself in clear, forcible English, and a really fine
intermixture of humor and pathos. We have here a sweet and pure love
story.--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat_.
"The Happy Warrior" is a remarkable publication ... Mr. Hutchinson
establishes himself as a master of characterization, keen observer
with a fine sense of the dramatic, and as fine a prose poet as we
have had since Meredith.--_Chicago Post_.
A brilliant piece of work.... Its author takes his place at once
among living novelists whose work is something more than a successful
commercial product. "The Happy Warrior" establishes Mr. Hutchinson
among the artists.--_London Daily Telegraph_.
... His romance and his humor are all his own, and the story is shot
through and through with a fleeting romance and humor that is all the
more effective because it is so evanescent. Few novels exist in
which the characters are as viable as Mr. Hutchinson's.--_Boston

ONCE ABOARD THE LUGGER----
By A. S. M. HUTCHINSON
Author of "The Clean Heart" and "The Happy Warrior."
327 pages. $1.30 net.
This is the novel that gave Mr. Hutchinson a conspicuous place among
the younger English authors who have so recently achieved literary
distinction. It is not a sea story, as its title would appear to
indicate, but a delightful comedy of English life, containing the
most romantic of love stories, written with such rare humor that it
stands apart from the great mass of present-day fiction. It is a
novel to read and reread, for through all the laughter and quaintness
shines the reality of life.
At once serious in its mockery of seriousness and touched with
genuine sentiment in its sympathy with the emotions of youth ...
Altogether it is refreshing.--_Everybody's Magazine_.
A light, humorous and clever romance.... Mr. Hutchinson's name is
new to American readers but he is a writer of parts. To the right
readers it will be warmly welcomed.--_Springfield Republican_.
As real and dainty as anything which has been written for years. It
is a book to please every sort of reader, for it is full of wit and
wisdom. The best praise that one can write of it, however, is that
after reading it you will want to own it, for a desire to reread
parts of it is sure to come.--_San Francisco Call_.
It is written in the highest of high spirits, in a vein of persistent
humor, and it moves along with an alertness and vivacity that is a
perpetual joy to the reader. A new humorist as well as a new
novelist has arisen in Mr. Hutchinson. He never fails to be
entertaining. It is vitally and significantly human.--_Boston
