  THE LISTENER

  THE PALL MALL GAZETTE: "Without doubt, Mr. Blackwood, a comparatively recent writer, is destined to fill a high place as an author who is able to arouse the attention of his reader on the first page, and to hold it until the last has been turned.... His constructive methods reveal the possession of a distinctive genius. For many years a book of this character has not been seen, and we welcome it accordingly with the greater pleasure."

  THE DAILY CHRONICLE: "These stories are literature.... Good stories, well imagined, carefully modelled, properly proportioned.... In the wild, wonderful atmosphere of 'The Willows' and 'Max Hensig' Mr. Blackwood is absolute master of his material. 'The Insanity of Jones' is perhaps the most remarkable _tour de force_ in this remarkable book."
