‘This book of Miss Ellen Glasgow’s stories should delight those who appreciate a breath of the unseen impinging upon the real and actual. Whether it be the stored memories of an old Virginian house reacting upon a sensitive nature, the wraith of a child done to death still hovering in the eyes of simple folks at twilight, or some other wafting from the eerie borderland, Miss Glasgow can give the emotion and the intangible charm of such glimmerings with a delicate and deliberate art. These seven stories are in no sense horrible, but they have the fascination of psychic touch in their admirably told happenings.’
Gentlewoman, 13 September 1924.
