Mr. ALGERNON BLACKWOOD in _COUNTRY LIFE_.—“They are the notes of a
spiritual pilgrim going towards the new Jerusalem. The writer’s
passionate worship of Beauty, his love of simplicity, his charity,
his courage, all these make a strong appeal. He has in him poetry
and vision.”
Mr. WM. PURVIS in the _SUNDAY CHRONICLE_.—“Stephen Graham walks the
earth in the garb of beggary, and sees unusual types and meets
incredible men and women and analyses his emotions, and worships the
Great Spirit in vague fashions; and writes excellently about it all.
He wishes there were more like him; and so do I.”
_DAILY NEWS._—“This robust book, a classic of educated yet wild
vagabondage.”
_LIVERPOOL COURIER._—“Mr. Graham found pleasure, even joy
everywhere, and he has an almost inspired faculty for making the
reader see things as he sees them.”
_THE QUEEN._—“The whole book is full of beautiful things.”
_IRISH TIMES._—“Not a chapter, scarcely a page, which cannot be
re-read with profit and delight.”
_GLASGOW HERALD._—“Told in language that is always adequate and
luminous.”
