Sir Henry Lucy writes: "One of the brightest, most original, and
best-written books that have come my way for a long time."
"Even the dullest can hardly fail to respond to the brilliant
humour of the book. As the mature work of an experienced author it
would have been a remarkable achievement; being 'the first book of
a new writer' it is an astonishing performance."--_Daily Graphic_.
"This book is a fantasy, an absurdity, a dream charged with
purpose; it has wit and humour, and some deep feeling covered with
the gossamer of irresponsibility; it is an act of rebellion, an
edged complaint, a protest touched with flame.... There are
epigrams and sentences that read like a sob or a stab."--_ Daily
Chronicle._
"For its sheer cleverness the book is a delightful thing."--_Daily
News_.
