SWEETHEART GWEN.
A WELSH IDYLL. By William Tirebuck,
Author of "Dorrie," "St. Margaret," ETC.
"Very charming in its depiction of a simple country life giving several piquant studies of quaint and attractive character, and not wanting in the flavor of that romance which all good novels must possess--the romance of love.... The book is written with knowledge and power, and has the idyllic flavor."--BOSTON BEACON.
"It is an idyll, a lovely one, conceived by some one whose childhood has been happily impressed on him.... The reader lives amid the pastures and the orchards of Ty-Cremed, and eats the brown bread and drinks the milk there, and Auntie Gwen, with her white teeth, cracks filberts for him.
This sweet, impulsive woman, with her blue eyes and her russet hair, bewitches you, as she does her little nephew, Martin. Mr. Tirebuck's literary faculties are of an exceptional kind. Those who love to read of child life will find here a perfect picture. There is, however, much more than this."--N.Y. TIMES.
"It is a vigorously told story of rural and child-life in Wales, and most tenderly, imaginatively, simply, it is done ... has humor, pathos, fancy, courage, deep human feeling, and admirable descriptive power."--PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.
"This is a delightful romance ... a charming description of Welsh country life, with quaint and picturesque studies."--BOSTON TRAVELLER.
DORRIE. By William Tirebuck,
Author of "St. Margaret," "Sweetheart Gwen," ETC.
"A really notable novel. Dramatic and profoundly pathetic. A psychological study of great value."--GRAPHIC.
"Mr. Tirebuck is a novelist of undoubted courage and fertility of imagination. The story is interesting beyond all question. He unquestionably knows how to draw a picture."--ATHENaeUM.
"'Dorrie' is an extremely touching and realistic picture of Liverpool life. Mr. Tirebuck writes vigorously, and his story is certainly one of profound human interest."--G. BARNETT SMITH, in _The Academy_.
"Mr. Tirebuck has the root of the matter in him. 'Dorrie' is really a strong piece of work--a decidedly interesting story."--SPECTATOR.
"Mr. Tirebuck has a real gift of story-telling to begin with. And he has other greater qualities than that.... His latest novel possesses a broad human interest as a really imaginative study of life."--RICHARD LE GALLIENNE, in _The Star_.
"This story possesses unusual powers of attraction, and gives unmistakable evidence of genius."--MANCHESTER EXAMINER.
"She (Dorrie) seems to myself the most absolutely original, and, in her way, the most taking figure in recent fiction. She is unique. To one reader at least she remains among the friends of fiction, the beloved of dreams."--ANDREW LANG, _At the Sign of the s.h.i.+p_.
