Jerome’s John Ingerfield;
The Woman of the Saeter, Silhouettes, Variety Patter, and The Lease of the Cross-keys. The title-story (half the book) and the two that follow are in serious vein. With portrait of Jerome and illustrations. Small 16mo. 75 cents.
“This dainty little volume, contrived to look like a tall folio in miniature ... the creepy Norwegian ghost story (The Woman of the Saeter) ... the vague but picturesque sketch called Silhouettes.... The first (John Ingerfield) is a very sweet and pathetic love story ... true to the best there is in human nature ... many diverse traits of character and striking incidents being compressed within its narrow limits.... It is a good thing to write an honest, wholesome, old-fashioned love story like John Ingerfield.”—New York Times.
“Rare combination of true pathos and thoroughly modern humor.”—The Churchman.
“Variety Patter and The Lease of the Cross-keys are in lighter vein; the former having delicious humorous touches, and the latter being in its entirety a very clever conceit.”—Boston Times.
“A charming story.”—Literary World.
“A charming little story.”—London Athenæum.
“Quaint and attractive in the extreme.”—Philadelphia Call.
“The Woman of the Saeter is weird and strange, and told with much art.”—Outlook.
“An exquisite love story ... like fine gold in its value.”—Chicago Herald.
“One of the sweetest, saddest stories we have ever read.”—Chicago Times.
“One of the best short stories that has appeared in some time.”—Detroit Free Press.
“A delightful story.”—Hartford Post.
“... The book will not be put down until all are finished.”—Baltimore American.
