SILVER CROSS
By MARY JOHNSTON
12mo. Cloth. 289 pages.
"Told in quaint and curious fashion, this tale . . . is in every
way like a piece of old, hand-wrought tapestry. It is . . . a
fascinating compound of history and romance and mysticism.
To read it is to step out of our modern life into a world possessed of
a glamor our own can never have. " Louise Maunsell Field in The
New York Times.
"It is a story vigorously advanced, always richly colored, always
romantic in tone. It is Miss Johnston's best writing of recent
years." Sidney Williams in The Philadelphia North American.
"The whole story goes with a swing that is refreshing—a
rhythm, perhaps, rather than a swing, both in its matter and in
the delightful manner with which Miss Johnston clothes her narratives."—
The Boston Herald.
"The story moves with the rhythm, the beauty, and the richness
of a Shakespearean pageant. There is music in its writing,
and poetry; there is a deftness of touch, a shrewdness and an irony,
and through it all, a kindliness that makes one thankful to Mary
Johnston for having rounded up all the experience of her life and
her art into this masterful effort." Cosmo Hamilton in The
Philadelphia Ledger.
