It is the secret of the extraordinary charm of this story that it
does not appear to be a story; it has almost no marks of artifice;
it hardly appears to have been planned; it affects us as a record,
kept in the simplest and most informal way, of certain very
interesting events and persons.--_Outlook_, N. Y.
A book that every one will like because it has the essential
qualities of wit, passion, character, and human nature; a book that
has the grace and charm of a finely artistic style all through, and
that is likely to rest on our shelves long after most of the novels
of this year of grace have passed out of our remembrance.--_St.
James's Gazette_, London.

There are so many beauties, so many singularities, so much that is
fresh and original in Mr. Du Maurier's story that it is difficult to
treat it at all adequately from the point of view of criticism. That
it is one of the most remarkable books that have appeared for a long
time is, however, indisputable.--_N. Y. Tribune._
