Pretty Geraldine, the New York Salesgirl; or, Wedded to Her Choice
John Stuart Mill · en
Mr. Neil Burgess has rewritten his play, "The County Fair," in
story-form. It rounds out a narrative which is comparatively but
sketched in the play. It only needs the first sentence to set going
the memory and imagination of those who have seen the latter, and
whet the appetite for the rest of this lively conception of a live
dramatist.--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_.
As "The County Fair" threatens to remain in New York for a long
time, the general public out of town may be glad to learn that the
playwright has put the piece into print to the form of a story. A
tale based upon a play may sometimes lack certain literary qualities,
but it never is the sort of thing over which any one can fall
asleep. Fortunately, "The County Fair" on the stage and in print
is by the same author, so there can be no reason for fearing that
the book misses any of the points of the drama which has been so
successful.--_N. Y. Herald_.
The idea of turning successful plays into novels seems to be getting
popular. The latest book of this description is a story reproducing
the action and incidents of Neil Burgess' play, "The County Fair."
The tale, which is a romance based on scenes of home life and
domestic joys and sorrows, follows closely the lines of the drama in
story and plot.--_Chicago Daily News_.
Mr. Burgess' amusing play, "The County Fair," has been received with
such favor that he has worked it over and expanded it into a novel
of more than 200 pages. It will be enjoyed even by those who have
never seen the play and still more by those who have.--_Cincinnati
Times-Star_.
This touching story effectively demonstrates that it is possible
to produce a novel which is at once wholesome and interesting
in every part, without the introduction of an impure thought or
suggestion.--_Albany Press_.
Street & Smith have issued "The County Fair." This is a faithful
reproduction of the drama of that name, and is an affecting and vivid
story of domestic life, joy, and sorrow, and rural scenes.--_San
Francisco Call_.
This romance is written from the play of this name, and is full of
touching incidents.--_Evansville Journal_.
It is founded on the popular play of the same name, in which Neil
Burgess, who is also the author of the story, has achieved the
dramatic success of the season.--_Fall River Herald_.
