There are color, splendor, and passion everywhere; action in
abundance; constant variety and absorbing interest. Mr. Haggard
does not err on the side of niggardliness; he is only too affluent
in description and ornament.... There is a largeness, a freshness,
and a strength about him which are full of promise and
encouragement, the more since he has placed himself so unmistakably
on the romantic side of fiction; that is, on the side of truth and
permanent value.... He is already one of the foremost modern
romance writers.--_N.Y. World._
Mr. Haggard has a genius, not to say a great talent, for
story-telling.... That he should have a large circle of readers in
England and this country, where so many are trying to tell stories
with no stories to tell, is a healthy sign, in that it shows that
the love of fiction, pure and simple, is as strong as it was in the
days of Dickens and Thackeray and Scott, the older days of Smollett
and Fielding, and the old, old days of Le Sage and Cervantes.--_N.
Y. Mail and Express._
That region of the universe of romance which Mr. Haggard has opened
up is better worth a visit than any that has been explored for many
a long year.--_St. James's Gazette_, London.
There is a charm in tracing the ingenuity of the author, and a
sense of satisfaction in his firm grasp of his subject. There is no
uncertainty at all, no groping after material, but one vivid scene
follows another until the reader says to himself, "Here, at last,
is a novelist who is not attempting to spread out one dramatic
situation so thin that it can be made to do duty for an entire
volume; a man of resource, imagination, and invention."--_Chicago
Herald._
