Weekly Survey
“An original and intensely interesting novel. We should welcome anything further from the pen of this anonymous writer who has produced a book that any one might be proud to sign.”
Sunday Times.
“It is permeated with the spirit of adventure, so that one is interested in the characters and their doings. Those who like the marvellous and have no objection to considering the impossible, will find a certain fascination about the story, which they will read to the end.”
Glasgow Herald.
Note
“The author of this anonymous book need not have hesitated to own it, for it is thoroughly readable, and its artistic merits are very considerable. It is at once a somewhat ambitious allegory and a satire with a fair measure of point and vigour.”
