BOOKS BY KENNETH GRAHAME




DREAM DAYS


THE OUTLOOK.—'Nobody with a sense of what is rare and humorous and true can afford to miss this volume.'

LITERATURE.—'In "Dream Days" we are conscious of the same magic touch which charmed us in "The Golden Age." There is magic in all the sketches, but it is perhaps in "Its Walls were as of Jasper"—the beautiful title of a beautiful story—that Mr. Grahame stands confessed as a veritable wizard.'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.—'Happy Mr. Grahame, who can weave romances so well.'

THE WORLD.—'Could only have been written by a poet full of happy imaginings, quaint conceits, and a certain winsome waywardness which has a charm of its own. … The closing chapter is full of a tenderness and reticent pathos far above anything the author has yet achieved. It is certainly a book to be read, for it would be a pity to miss the many exquisite passages it contains.'

THE DAILY MAIL.—'Mr. Grahame's book will bring youth and joy into many a jaded heart.'


THE HEADSWOMAN


THE BOOKMAN.—'Mr. Grahame's cleverness does not forsake him when he attempts satire. "The Headswoman" is a pretty bit of foolery.'

THE LITERARY WORLD.—'A delightful little tale with a tinge of satire in it. For gracefulness of style and charm in the telling of a story it is in the front rank, and that is saying a great deal.'

MR. W. L. COURTNEY IN DAILY TELEGRAPH.—'Well, we are more than a trifle dull, nous autres; and we should be grateful to Mr. Kenneth Grahame for throwing in a story or two of his own as often as he can. Happy Mr. Grahame, who can weave romances so well.'

THE DUNDEE ADVERTISER.—'Humour is not dead amongst us, for Kenneth Grahame's witty little romance of "The Headswoman" brims over with it.'

THE SCOTSMAN.—'Mr. Grahame has written a most charming book, which cannot fail to delight all who were once children.'
