"An original worker, a man who copies no one either in treatment or
style--this, his first volume, should find a wide popularity."--_The
Review of Reviews._
"If you want a really refreshing book, a book whose piquant savour
and quaint originality of style are good for jaded brains, buy and
read _In a Canadian Canoe_.... There is in these stories a curious
mixture of humour, insight, and pathos, with here and there a dash
of grimness and a sprinkling of that charming irrelevancy which is
of the essence of true humour. As for 'The Celestial Grocery,' I can
only say that it is in its way a masterpiece."--_Punch._
STORIES AND INTERLUDES.
_Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d._
"Mr. Pain has a delicate fancy and a graceful style, a bitter-sweet
humour, and a plentiful endowment of 'the finer perceptions.'"_--Punch._
"Amazingly clever.... Teems with satire and good
things."--_Speaker._
"'The Magic Morning,' though dealing with a young city man and his
wife, has the atmosphere of far-away dreaminess which is so charming
in some of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short stories."--_Saturday Review._
"There is something delightfully, because unsatisfactorily,
fascinating in these stories, with their touch of _diablerie_, their
elusiveness.
