A Delightful Holyday Book!
CHANTICLEER: A THANKSGIVING STORY OF THE PEABODY FAMILY. In one Volume, 12mo., cloth, Price 75 cts.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The first work of the kind ever attempted in this country.
—Brooklyn Star.
Worthy of Teniers, if Teniers had employed the pen instead of the brush.
—Philadelphia Sat. Gaz.
A dainty volume.
—Boston Transcript.
The author must have been there; spirited and amusing—with touching and
pathetic passages—and well deserves a place on every centre-table.
—Boston Advertiser.
A truthful and vivid picture—an addition to real American literature.
—Boston Courier.
A charming little book, quiet, simple, almost German in its dreamy fancies;
the description true to the life, and giving proof of a master's hand; the few
sad pages touching, but free from sentimental exaggeration, the humorous passages
highly toned, and all the characters brought out in bold relief.
—New York Spirit of the Times.
The style is often chaste and beautiful.
—New York Tribune.
A delightful story.
—N. Y. Morning Star.
Graphically and beautifully written.
—N. Y. Atlas.
A glorious thanksgiving volume; we can not guess the author—but the
story is charming, and the volume elegant. We have seen no finer holyday
book yet.
—The New Yorker.
To be read in the family circle while the Turkey is digesting—a capital
book.
—Providence Post.
The author of “Chanticleer” does not put his name on the titlepage, but his
book has the imprint of a truly national spirit. Its style combines the humorous
and pathetic in a happy admixture.
—Washington Nat. Intelligencer.
A very interesting story. An appropriate Gift-book.
—Christian Watchman and Reflector.
We wonder, at its close, at the number of persons we have become acquainted
with, and how well we know them. It is the sketch of a master; like the circle
of Giotto, demonstrative as an acre of canvass.
—Lit. World.
Recommended to precede the turkey and plum-pudding era.
—Newark Adv.
Everyday life and incident presented in a new and telling guise, and written
in peculiarly pure English.
—The Asmodean.
The book is beautifully executed, and harmonizes in its tone and spirit with
the great idea of the day.
—N. Y. Evangelist.
Delightfully written.
—Weekly Picayune.
The materials are skilfully worked by the author into a charming picture of
life and character. All the social and religious characteristics of the season of
thanksgiving are brought out with a fancy, genial, humorous, and reverential.
—N Y Evening Post.
A beautiful little holyday volume.
—Philadelphia Ledger.
There is a freshness and originality about it which will be very attractive to
its readers. The characters have an individuality about them which makes
them portraits. We can promise the reader a treat in its perusal, and could
we disclose the name of the author, he would be convinced that he had a
right to expect a rich fund of entertainment.
—Albany State Register.
