TRILBY. A Novel. Illustrated by the Author. Post 8vo, Cloth,
Ornamental, $1 75; Three-quarter Calf, $3 50; Three-quarter
Crushed Levant, $4 50.
Certainly, if it were not for its predecessor, we should assign to
“Trilby” a place in fiction absolutely companionless.... It is one of
the most unconventional and charming of novels.--_Saturday Review_,
London.
It is a charming story told with exquisite grace and tenderness.--_N.
Y. Tribune._
Mr. Du Maurier has written his tale with such originality,
unconventionality, and eloquence, such rollicking humor and tender
pathos, and delightful play of every lively fancy, all running so
briskly in exquisite English and with such vivid dramatic picturing,
that it is only comparable ... to the freshness and beauty of a spring
morning at the end of a dragging winter.... It is a thoroughly unique
story.--_N. Y. Sun._
PETER IBBETSON. With an Introduction by his Cousin, Lady * * * *
* (“Madge Plunket”). Edited and Illustrated by GEORGE DU MAURIER.
Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
That it is one of the most remarkable books that have appeared for a
long time is, however, indisputable.--_N. Y. Tribune._
There are no suggestions of mediocrity. The pathos is true, the irony
delicate, the satire severe when its subject is unworthy, the comedy
sparkling, and the tragedy, as we have said, inevitable. One or two
more such books, and the fame of the artist would be dim beside that of
the novelist.--_N. Y. Evening Post._
