The Madness of Philip, and Other Tales of Childhood
Bacon, Josephine Daskam
Children -- Fiction
_The Spectator_: “His masters are Zola and Balzac, but there are few
traces of the novice and none of the imitator.”
_Vanity Fair_: “It moves to its end with all the terrible unity of
an Æschylean tragedy.”
_Harper’s Weekly_: “If Thomas Hardy had written of Scotland, instead
of Wessex, it would have been something like ‘The House with the
Green Shutters’.... If any man is his (Douglas’) master it is Thomas
Hardy.”
Hardy, Stevenson, Zola, Flaubert, Balzac, and Æschylus.
Eighth Edition. $1.50.

RED SAUNDERS
His Adventures, West and East
❦
There is plenty of dash and adventure in this book, told with a humor
whose most delightful quality is its unstudied naturalness. The critics
are all laughing, not at the book, but with it.
