JIMBO

A FANTASY

DAILY CHRONICLE. "Jimbo is a delicious book, and one that should be read by all who long at times to escape from this working-day world into the region of haunting and half-remembered things."

DAILY EXPRESS. " Jimbo is a perfect thing, a dainty masterpiece. We have never read a book quite like it. We have rarely read a book that has given us such unqualified delight."

SPECTATOR. "As a fantastic exposition of the psychology of fright, as an attempt to illustrate the workings of the mind in the spectral world of dejirium, it is of engrossing interest."

DAILY TELEGRAPH. "A singularly powerful piece of psychological analysis. . . . The thing is wonderfully well done, and will evoke an eerie feeling in the least imaginative nature."

OBSERVER. " The book is a remarkable achievement. All through, the sense of mystery and vagueness and terror are conveyed with singular sureness where just a touch too much might have destroyed all."

JOHN SILENCE

OBSERVER. "Not since the days of Poe have we read any- thing in his peculiar genre fit to be compared with this remarkable book."

WORLD. " No one should miss a book of such singular in- genuity and power ; but no nervous person can be advised to read it except at a considerable interval before going to bed. "
