"A delightful and unusual story. The manner in which the hero's malesolitude is invaded and set right is amusing and eccentric enough tohave been devised by the late Frank Stockton. It is a story that is wellworth reading."--_New York Sun._
"Is to be counted among the best novels of this entertaining writer ...written with a skilful and delicate touch."--_Springfield Republican._
"In its literary graces, in its portrayal of characters that are nevercommonplace though genuinely human, and in its development of a singularsocial situation, the book is one to give delight."--_PhiladelphiaPress._
