_Springfield Republican_: The first genuine war novel.
_Outlook_: The first novel of any real consequence dealing with the
great war.
_San Francisco Argonaut_: An extraordinary book. The reader of
Comfort’s book is carried away on a storm of emotion.
_New York Tribune_: Decidedly the first notable novel of the great war
is Will Levington Comfort’s _Red Fleece_. Comfort sees in the moujik’s
dreamy soul the seed of a spiritual regeneration of the world.
_The Dial_: As a stylist, Mr. Comfort has never done better work. “His
clothing smelled of death; and one morning before the smoke fell, he
watched the sun shining upon the smoke-clad hills. That moment the
thought held him that the pine-trees were immortal, and men just the
dung of the earth.” It is not given to many men to write such English
as that.
_Boston Transcript_: This is a story written in wireless. It leaves a
lightning impression.
_New York Times_: This novel has one most unusual fault. It is not long
enough.
_Churchman_, New York: By far the most interesting and thoughtful book
of fiction springing from the great war.
