Boldrewood, Rolf
Māori (New Zealand people) -- Fiction; New Zealand -- Fiction
_WORLD._--"Brisk and amusing throughout."
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--"A spirited romance.... It is the brightest tale
of the kind that we have read for a long time."
_DAILY MAIL._--"A robust and engaging eighteenth century romance."
_SCOTSMAN._--"The story possesses all the elements of a good-going
love romance, in which the wooing is not confined to the sterner sex;
while its flavour of the sea will secure it favour in novel-reading
quarters where anything approaching sentimentality or sermonizing
does not meet with much appreciation."
_MORNING POST._--"There is a spirit and evident enjoyment in the
telling of the story which is refreshing."
_ACADEMY._--"A brisk story of old naval days."
_SPECTATOR._--"Pleasant reading is furnished in _The Loves of the
Lady Arabella_."

THAT LITTLE CUTTY
_DR. BARRÈRE, ISABEL DYSART_
By MRS. OLIPHANT
AUTHOR OF "THE CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD," ETC., ETC.
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--"It has all her tenderness and homely humour, and
in the case of all three stories there is a good idea well worked
out."
_LITERATURE._--"To come across a work of Mrs. Oliphant's is to come
across a pleasant, little green oasis in the arid desert of minor
novels.... In these the author's refinement, tenderness, and charm of
manner are as well exemplified as in any of her earlier works.... The
book is one that we can most cordially recommend."
_DAILY NEWS._--"Each story that comes to us from the hand of Mrs.
Oliphant moves us to admiration for its delicate craftsmanship, the
keen appreciation it displays of the resources of situation and
character. The posthumous volume, 'That Little Cutty, and other
Stories,' is an excellent example of Mrs. Oliphant's power of telling
a story swiftly and with dramatic insight. Every touch tells....
The little volume is worthy of its author's high and well-deserved
reputation."
