THE WORKS OF JOHN MASEFIELD
"This is a miniature epic, or saga, its eloquent but unforced prose making it a book that will stand high among Masefield's productions. . . . Masefield writes of the military aspect of the campaign with a rare facility for pictorial expression . . . a splendid story of bravery splendidly told."—New York Evening Post.
What Mr. Masefield did for the Gallipoli Campaign, he now does for the Campaign in France. His subject is the old front line as it was when the battle of the Somme began. His account is vivid and gripping a huge conflict seen through the eyes of a great poet, this is the book.

Those who go in quest of Beauty will find her here. . . . Here is beauty of impression, beauty of expression, beauty of thought, and beauty of phrase."—The New York Times.
