The SATURDAY REVIEW says:--"_A novel which is
both romantic and natural, which has much feeling, without
any touch of mawkishness, which goes deep into character
without any suggestion of painful analysis--this is a rare
gem to find amongst the débris of current literature,
and this, or nearly this, Mr. Black has given us in the
'Princess of Thule.'_" "_A beautiful and nearly perfect
story._"--SPECTATOR.
THE MAID OF KILLEENA, and other Stories. Cheaper Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_A collection of pretty stories told in the easiest and
pleasantest manner imaginable._"--TIMES. "_It was
with something akin to joy that we drew our chair closer
to the fire as the weary work of the novel critic gave
place to the smile of satisfaction and pleasure, when, in
the very first page of our book, we discovered that we had
come again to those Western Isles in the quiet summer sea
in the far North, and to those simple people amidst whose
loving allegiance the Princess of Thule--Sheila--held her
modest Court.... We shall not be satisfied till 'The Maid
of Killeena' rests on our shelves._"--SPECTATOR.
