Reviews:
"These stories enlarge life. They remind us of Shakespeare and Aeschylus.... That Mrs. Kroeber's book should generate such thoughts is proof of its power and beauty." - New York Times Book Review "Thanks to Mrs. Kroeber's simple, supple style, the stories all succeed as stories; they please, engage, move, or divert without depending for their effect on their exotic source." - The New Yorker "This is a jewel of a book." - San Francisco Chronicle"
