THE SECRET GLORY

The strange story of an English Public School boy, who prefers the beauty of Gothic arches seen against the sunset sky to the glory of athletic fame on the football or cricket field.Frederick B. Eddy in The Reviewer.

THINGS NEAR AND FAR

An autobiographical piece of writing that sears the soul of the reader even as the actual experiences recorded palpably seared the soul of the writer. . . .Edwin Björkman in The Literary Review.

FAR OFF THINGS

A chronicle of happiness and horror, of transport and torment, in the midst of neglected, undeserved poverty. A moving and delicious and superb rendering of the life of a remarkable man and a great prose artist.Vincent Starrett in The New York Tribune.

THE THREE IMPOSTORS
