MODERATOR says:—“Some of the most exquisite prose we have read for manya day.”
IRISH NEWS (Belfast) says:—“In the ten ‘Idylls’ which Miss Douglascontributes, we have a group of the sweetest prose poetry possible.... Agallery of lovely pictures.... A thing of beauty and a joy for ever....The turn-out of the book is equal to anything of the same kind producedin London.”
MRS. ALICE A. PITMAN, author of “TALES FROM LONDON LIFE,” says:—“Thepictures are beautifully conceived, and elegantly portrayed.”
IRISH FIGARO says:—“I am grateful to all who essay in a sincere spiritthe difficult task of making Dublin a book-producing place. In ‘TheLittle Library,’ author, editor, publisher, and draughtsman havecombined in an honest endeavour to attain that desirable end. The writerof ‘Idylls’ gives us ten short prose-poems, of which I take the libertyto give the first in its entirety as a specimen. It is entitled, ‘A RoseGarden.’... This is a beautiful picture.”
JAMES H. COUSINS says:—“Beautiful prose fancies.”
IRISH DAILY INDEPENDENT says:—“The book is beautifully produced, and acredit to Dublin.”
SCOTTISH SOCIETY says:—“The weirdly-covered little book with thestrange frontispiece which comes to us under the title of ‘Idylls,’ willbe read with great enjoyment by all whose sense of literary quality issufficiently educated to appreciate the extreme delicacy ofword-painting in water-colours, if it may be so expressed.... In everysense of the word, they are perfect representations of the idyll in itspurest form,... impossible to criticise, and difficult properly topraise.{7}”
