A volume of capital short stories relating to seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries characters--Nell Gwynn, Kitty Olive, Oliver
Goldsmith, Dr. Johnson, and David Garrick. They are bright, witty and
dramatic.
The person who has a proper eye to the artistic in fiction will possess
them ere another day shall dawn.--_Scranton Tribune_.
Full of the mannerisms of the stage and thoroughly Bohemian in
atmosphere.--_Boston Herald_.
The celebrated actresses whom he takes for his heroines sparkle with
feminine liveliness of mind.--_New York Tribune_.
A collection of short stories which has a flash of the picturesqueness,
the repartee, the dazzle of the age of Garrick and Goldsmith, and Peg
Wellington and Kitty Clive.--_Hartford Courant_.
Mr. F. Frankfort Moore had a capital idea when he undertook to throw
into story form some of the traditional incidents of the history of the
stage in its earlier English days. Nell Gwynn, Kitty Clive, Mrs.
Siddons, Mrs. Abbington and others are cleverly depicted, with much of
the swagger and flavor of their times.--_The Outlook_.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
