_Eye-Witness_.--"A very soothing, charming, and sparkling piece of work." _Truth_.--"Of all adventures into the realms of fantastic fiction there is none quite so daring, certainly none so much at home, as Mr. Locke. The novel will add to its writer's reputation." _Evening Times_.--"In this work Mr. Locke gets back to the irresponsible joyousness of 'The Beloved Vagabond,' and he will add by it countless numbers to his host of admirers. In no book of his do we have more admirable characterisation of eccentric persons...." The Joyous Adventures of Aristide Pujol With Illustrations by ALIC BALL. Crown 8vo, 6s; also Popular Edition Cloth, Crown 8vo, 1s net. _Press Opinions_ _Pall Mall Gazette_.--"At all times he is the best of company, and he will rank among the best and most charming of Mr. Locke's creations. 'The Joyous Adventures' will add greatly to the author's fame, for rare indeed is literary work of such colour and vivacity." _Clarion_.--"It is a grand book this. A jolly, delightful book, for though a tear gleams here and there, the great characteristic of the book is laughter. A most audacious book, a most enchanting book, and such a perfectly fascinating hero." _Globe_.--"'Aristide Pujol' is one of Mr. Locke's happiest creations." _Bystander_.--"I could say much more about this engaging and delicious and fairy-hearted book had I room, but, as I have already said, criticism is not wanted. Aristide Pujol will make friends wherever he goes." _Outlook_.--"It leaves us the richer for a friend." _Tatler_.--"For a really humorous, whimsical story let me recommend 'The Joyous Adventures of Aristide Pujol.' It will even put a pessimist in exceeding good humour with himself and the world at large. We have laughed and we have cried, and most of us will, I fancy, have found a new friend." _Sketch_.--"The oft-repeated word 'brilliant' seems still the one word possible." _Scotsman_.--"The book is one of Mr. Locke's best." _Sunday Times_.--"Any novel reader with any taste for the fantastic will revel in these truly 'Joyous Adventures'." _Vanity Fair_.--"Written with rare distinction and charm 'The Adventures of Aristide Pujol' have an _allure_ and a fascination all their own; they are quite the best work Mr. Locke has done since he described the wanderings of another Frenchman, Paragot, 'the beloved vagabond'." _Onlooker_.--"Here we have this delightful writer at his brightest." _Birmingham Daily Post_.--"A wholly delightful creation." _Court Journal_.--"One of the cheeriest, brightest, and most delightful books of the season." _Academy_.--"Aristide Pujol is a creation of genius." _Referee_.--"Aristide Pujol indeed is irresistible." * * * * * BY A.
