THE EDUCATION OF
UNCLE PAUL
_GUARDIAN._--“Rare and exquisite book.... It is all of a strange
loveliness, and, despite its aerial quality, of real sincerity. _The
Education of Uncle Paul_ is a book to puzzle the ‘average reader’ and
rejoice the elect.”
_TIMES._--“Wholly delightful book.”
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--“The book is as delightful, as poetical, and as
well written as might be expected from an author so rarely gifted as
Mr. Blackwood unquestionably is.”
_DAILY NEWS._--“For a book so steeped in a sense of beauty, swept
through and through by the clean, exhilarating winds that belong to
dreams, we are unfeignedly grateful.”
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--“Charmingly written, full of poetry and
imagination, and one cannot help thinking will receive a warm welcome
from many of those children, ‘between eight and thirty,’ to whom it is
dedicated.”
_SPECTATOR._--“Marked by a sense of beauty and a wealth of poetic
invention for which his earliest efforts hardly prepared us.”
_TRUTH._--“To read the book is to have your happiest childhood restored
to you, as the leaves in spring are restored to the trees.”
_STANDARD._--“There is some very beautiful prose, some delightful
humour, and an imagination that has, at the present, no rival at all
for strength, sincerity, and poetic vision.”
_LITERARY WORLD._--“All who care for fine thought and exquisite style
will make a point of reading this remarkable book.”
