J.M. Barrie : Sentimental Tommy

"I am now myself in cap III of 'Sentimental Tommy'. So far, it strikes me, as it struck me before in 'Scribner', as a little too merely facetious, Seems as if the beggar didn?t know when he was being humorous & when merely funny ? la Jerome. Having instinctive doubts of the book, I shouldn?t have started it only for Miss Symonds? urgent recommendation."

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

  

J.M. Barrie : Margaret Ogilvy/by her son

'Barrie?s 'Margaret Ogilvy', though a trifle loose in the mere writing, is a divine thing, my boy?sort of book that immediately you have finished it you begin again, No fear of his reputation deliquescing just yet, with that to solidify it.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book
