"Has a quaintness and distinction of its own, an elusive quality
of style, a personal touch, that lends to it a whimsical
fascination,"--_Daily News._
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
IN A CANADIAN CANOE.
_Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d._
"The pleasant and even remarkable book which Mr. Barry Pain has
contributed to the Whitefriars Library. The best thing in the book,
to our mind, is 'The Celestial Grocery,' a quaint and thoroughly
original blending of effervescent humour with grim pathos."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
"Mr. Barry Pain has a decided sense of humour. The best things in
the volume are the classical burlesques grouped under the title of
'The Nine Muses minus One.' They are really clever and full of
_esprit_."--_Academy._
"Nor is he deficient in fancy, and 'The Celestial Grocery' is as
whimsical as it is fresh. 'Bill' is in yet another vein, and proves
that Mr. Pain can handle the squalor of reality: while the last half
of 'The Girl and the Beetle,' the best of the book, suggests a
certain comprehension of character."--_National Observer.
