THE NOVELS, STORIES AND SKETCHES OF F. HOPKINSON SMITH
"He has always had unquestioning faith in the significance and interest of the simple, universal human experiences as they come to normal, brave, affectionate, gentle-mannered, or robust, untrained men and women.
"As he looks at nature so he looks at man: with clear vision, with sympathy rather than curiosity; with an eye for the fine things in the rugged man and the vigorous, sinewy, self-sustaining woman, and for the natural virtues, the deep tenderness, the true-heartedness in the man of long descent and the woman of gentle breeding.
"His style is singularly concise, exact, compact; possessed of a vitality which uses various arts of expression; his style is notable for concentration, solidity, reality."--HAMILTON W. MABIE.
